I am running 2.2-STABLE and have recently run into an odd problem with dumping to a floppy tape drive. If I dump a small filesystem, say / (takes 1 tape), 'dump 0uf - / | ft "dump of /"' works exactly as expected. If, however, I try to dump a different filesystem (/usr, see fstab below) it locks up in a really nasty way. The only outward indication I get is a syslog message saying: ft0: unexpected interrupt; st0 = $20 pcn = 19 Dump stops at DUMP: estimated 406072 tape blocks DUMP: dumping (Pass III) [directories] And is not responsive to any signal, I have to kill the session from another pseudo terminal. At this point, there are 5 dump processes shown in ps and the 1 ft process, which at this point is unkillable leaving /dev/ft0 permanently unavailable. The only way to clear this up is to reboot (not a fun process since reboot doesn't and routed won't start properly 9 out of 10 tries, but that's another story). What the heck has broken, since I used to be able to do dumps (and still can on other filesystems)? (And yes, I know I need to get a real tape drive) By the way, whatever happened to lft, which was far nicer than ft? -Dave ---- /etc/fstab /dev/wd0a / ufs rw 1 1 /dev/wd0s2e /usr ufs rw 1 1
