If this has been covered before I must have missed it, sorry. I attached an Exabyte to an old cube running 1.0. Everything works OK (it finds it during boot, I can rewinde it etc.), except when I try to run dump on it. I have tried: dump 0fdsb /dev/rxt0 6250 3600 100 / and it fails with "Write error n feet into tape". but: dump 0fds - 6250 3600 | dd of=/dev/rxt0 bs=100b conv=sync seems to work fine. Tar also behaves strange : tar cvf /dev/rxt0 . works, but: tar cvfb /dev/rxt0 100 . gets a write error and terminates. Any ideas ? I have looked in the 1.0a release notes and it wasn't covered, just something about not being able to restore from multivolume OD's. Is it "fixed in 2.0" ?
