i just installed a new seagate 4gb tape backup unit and i got this when i
tried running a full dump:

  DUMP: 36.91% done, finished in 0:17
  DUMP: 56.16% done, finished in 0:11
  DUMP: 75.52% done, finished in 0:06
  DUMP: write error 694350 blocks into volume 1
 ### DUMP: fopen on /dev/tty fails: Device not configured
### DUMP: The ENTIRE dump is aborted.
  DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Thu Jan 22 00:18:24 1998
  DUMP: Date of last level 0 dump: the epoch
  DUMP: Dumping /dev/rsd0s1e (/var) to /dev/nrst0
  DUMP: mapping (Pass I) [regular files]
  DUMP: mapping (Pass II) [directories]
  DUMP: estimated 62159 tape blocks.
  DUMP: dumping (Pass III) [directories]
  DUMP: write error 10 blocks into volume 1
  DUMP: fopen on /dev/tty fails: Device not configured
###DUMP: The ENTIRE dump is aborted.

the command i ran was (off a script):

/sbin/dump 0uaf $TAPE $filesystem

i am running 2.2.5 with seagate 4.55 barracuda

also can someone give me a generic distfile for rdist so i can set up
redundant servers?

thanks in advance!
