[comp.unix.questions] dumping on cartridge

tahsin@rd-atlas.UUCP (Tahsin Choudhuri) (06/22/89)

I am using a Sun-3/60, whats the dump(8) command line that one should use,
to properly fill a data cartridge (3M 600A 600feet rated for 60MB capacity).
The default options for size, blockfactor, density doesn't seem to fill
as much as the cartridge is rated for. Although if I use, cpio or tar I can
put close to 60MB or more. I am using /dev/rst8.

Anybody who experimented and found a solution, I would greatly appreciate
if you could share some info. Thanks in advance. Please email directly
if possible.
