DAT 72 tape drive (hits end of tape)
2007-12-25 5:17:00
Sun StorEdge DAT 72 tape drive. I am using DDS-4 20/40GB tapes.
Here's my dump parameters:
/usr/sbin/ufsdump 0uf /dev/rmt/1hn /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0
It keeps hitting the end of tape after about 20GB. Prior to
attaching the DAT 72 drive, I was using a Sun DDS-4 drive with
the exact same dump parameters and was dumping over 32GB on
the same tape.
Other than a boot -r, I did not change any dip switches or st.conf
parameters. What could be the problem?
