I too have an Exabyte 8200. Mine works, so I mention what I do.
The primary line I use is
/sbin/dump 0uBf 250 /dev/nst0 /
Notice the 0 for a whole dump, the B for size 2.5MB (250)
You merely needed to tell it how long your tape is,
otherwise the default is old-fashioned small.
If you
I'm trying to get a backup of my system using dump. However, I can not
seem to get it to work. I have a 2.5gig scsi tape drive (Exabyte 8200)
and 2.1gigs on my root partition. When I do dump -0 -f /dev/nst0 / the
system starts to dump but seems to want almost 40 tapes. What is going
on here?
