DAT 72 tape drive (hits end of tape) -- REVISITING

2007-12-25 5:55:00

Hello everyone,

I have a SunFire V480 (Solaris 9) with a Sun StorEdge DAT 72 tape drive.
I am using DAT-72 (36GB/72GB) tapes.

My dump parameters are "1cn" based on a previous codeprof
inquiry. Here's my dump parameters:

/usr/sbin/ufsdump 0uf /dev/rmt/1cn /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0

But now it is hitting the end of tape around 41GB. Is there anything
I can do to compress it to fit more data on the tape? I've been
searching archives and man pages and can't find anything. Thank you
and I will summarize.
