Hiya, i've implemented an option to dump(8) to bypass all tape length considerations, and dump straight to the end-of-tape indication, as it is probably most appropriate for all today's tape drives (due to compression and/or multiple backups per volume). How to name this kid? Right now, i've picked key `e' (``end of medium'', ``enforce end-of-medium''), lacking a better idea. Are there any better suggestions that don't conflict with other existing keys? -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
