Last week I asked how I could convince AIX's rdump that a remote Exabyte tape is big enough to hold a whole dump without switching tapes. Both Andrew J. Schorr (schorr@ead.dsa.com) and Andrew T. Como (como@max.bnl.gov) suggested using the "-d" and "-s" options to rdump, for tape density and tape size, respectively. These are not documented as valid for the AIX rdump, but they work nevertheless. The command Andy Schorr uses is: rdump -0 -u -c -b 32 -d 54000 -s 6000 -f dumphost:/dev/nrst1 <file system> and Andy Como uses: /etc/rdump -u -d54000 -s6000 -0 -fdumphost:/dev/nrst1 <file system> Thanks for your help, John Jorgensen jorgnsn@qucis.queensu.ca (613) 545 6784 Systems Programmer, Dept. of Computing Science, Queen's University
