But tar does not. I have tried plan old tar and tar with block size specifications, but no dice. ruby2# tar -b 4096 -c -f /dev/nrast0 altq-3.0 tar: can't write to /dev/nrast0 : Input/output error It just gives a series of ast0: bad request, must be multiple of 32768 ast0: bad request, must be multiple of 32768 ast0: bad request, must be multiple of 32768 ast0: bad request, must be multiple of 32768 ast0: bad request, must be multiple of 32768 ast0: bad request, must be multiple of 32768 no matter what block size I try. The other quirk I noticed is that after a dump, ast0: WEOF - ILLEGAL REQUEST asc=24 ascq=00 error=04 Is this just a limitation of the hardware and driver ? It looks like they have LINUX support on their web page. Too bad they are not doing the same for FreeBSD. ---Mike -------------------------------------------------------------------- Mike Tancsa, tel +1 519 651 3400 Network Administration, mike@sentex.net Sentex Communications www.sentex.net Cambridge, Ontario Canada www.sentex.net/mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
