Hi again, I thought I had everything working with my new tape drive. =) I was dead wrong. I get this error when the tape runs out of tape, ft0: unrecoverable write error on block 3200 I'm probably not doing something right here. I have a 200 meg tape. I tried 'dump usfd 400 - 43690 /dev/sd0a | ft' then 'dump ufd - /dev/sd0a | ft'. And my root partition is ~15mb. So I think maybe it's dump. I tried 'tar zvcf - /usr/local | ft "/usr/local save"', which is ~77 mb. (side note: I can't get tar's -X option to work right, it just refuses to exclude a directory I specify) Now what's wrong? Oh, and ft is going nuts and refuses to die. I have to reboot to make it stop winding and re-winding my stupid tape... Thanks in adv, Sherman (off to reboot)
