- I am posting this for a friend:
-
- I have installed a HP 35480A DAT drive on a SUN SPARC2 workstation.
- It works fine but, it takes forever when I use the /usr/etc/dump
- command with the default blocking factor. (It takes about 10 times as
- long as an 8mm drive). What is the appropriate blocking factor, or is
- there something else that will solve the problem?
