DLT 7000 ufsdump compression

2007-12-24 21:00:00

Good Morning,

We currently have a SUN Enterprise 4500 running Solaris 8 with a Storedge
L280 (DLT7000) tape unit. We do not have Veritas or network backup. I run a
ufsdump on the filesystems on a DLT tape IV which claims to be able to hold
35gb native to 70gb compressed.
For some reason I have been unable to make these filesystems compress using
the u or h options (See Below). Normally, I run the ufsdump on all of the
below filesystems which should fit on one tape. Any solutions?

# df -k

First using the u option

# ufsdump 0uf /dev/rmt/1u /opt1
DUMP: Writing 32 Kilobyte records
DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Tue 16 Oct 2001 09:43:39 AM EDT

DUMP: Mapping (Pass II) [directories]

DUMP: Dumping (Pass IV) [regular files]
DUMP: Tape rewinding

DUMP: DUMP IS DONE
DUMP: Level 0 dump on Tue 16 Oct 2001 09:43:39 AM EDT

Second run using h instead of u option which does not seem to matter.

# ufsdump 0uf /dev/rmt/1h /opt1
