[comp.sys.sun] Problems with restore on Exabyte.

jim%EASBY.DURHAM.AC.UK@cunyvm.cuny.edu (Jim Cottrell) (11/02/89)

Multiple dumps on an Exabyte tape unit are causing problems - or rather
restore is.

Skipping intervening dumps using mt -f /dev/nrrt0 fsf x works for small
dump files, (I've tested it at 20-30M) but large dumps 75+M, fails giving
the error:

/dev/nrrt0 fsf x failed: I/O error

Any help, pointers, etc would be appreciated.

and the OS is 3.4.
