But when I try to dump /usr, I get the following: narcissus:{/home/ben}% dump 0uf /dev/rst0 /dev/sd0f DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Wed Jul 30 02:58:18 1997 DUMP: Date of last level 0 dump: the epoch DUMP: Dumping /dev/sd0f to /dev/rst0 DUMP: mapping (Pass I) [regular files] DUMP: mapping (Pass II) [directories] DUMP: estimated 1023505 tape blocks on 26.30 tape(s). And it proceeds to dump until it runs out of room. The thing is, this is a 4-gig tape, and it's a 2-gig drive, so something's not quite right here. Any ideas? Ben
