On 2.1-stable, we just installed an HP C1533 SCSI 4mm dat. To test the setup, I did a 'find / -depth -print|cpio -ovc > /dev/rst0' and then a 'cpio -it < /dev/rst0'. All looked great. However, I'd like to use the dump command. So... I did a 'dump 0uf /dev/rst0 /' and all appears ok, but within 3 minutes or so it says 'mount volume 2'. This seems strange to me, as the lowest capacity possible with the drive is 2gb and my entire hard drive is 1.6gb (I'm only using about 300mb). What am I doing wrong? On a slightly different topic; I jumpered the drive to do hardware compression without host control. I did this because I thought freebsd might have problems sending commands to tell the drive to do compression. If I change the jumper to host controlled hardware compression, how does freebsd know whether to write with compression or not (hopefully under operator control)? I've seen other unix variants that use different device files for this. What's the fbsd equivalent? Any help or pointers appreciated! Jay West
