- I've been wondering about this same problem (less the fopen
- error) on my Sun-3/50 since I upgraded from 4.1.1 to 4.1.1_U1.
- Now I frequently get tape write errors. I've also noticed that
- dumps that work seem MUCH faster. I wonder if dump is too fast
- for my poor Wangtek QIC-24 drive.
-
- I was beginning to think I was the only one seeing this. Sad to
- say, I'm not.
