Are there any recommended magic numbers for size (-s) and density
(-d) for use with the 150M streamer tape drive? I know that these number
are only important in calculating when to change tapes but I would like to
know the best choices for optimum tape use.

Dump/restore need a character device...
Don't use (/usra ... /usrb...) which is a BLOCK device. Specify
/dev/rdsk/dks0d1s0 .... Not /dev/dsk/dks0d1s0

My local sun guru laughed at me :-)
