- Hello,
-
- I have a tlz04 1.2GB 4mm tape attached to a DS5000/125 running
- Ultrix 4.2a. Below is the df output for my /usr filesystem:
-
- /dev/rz0c 622094 447315 112570 80% /usr
-
- Here is the first few lines of a full dump of /usr:
-
- # dump 0f /dev/nrmt0h /usr
- DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Fri Sep 4 10:40:27 1992
- DUMP: Date of last level 0 dump: the epoch
- DUMP: Dumping /dev/rrz0c (/usr) to /dev/nrmt0h
- DUMP: Mapping (Pass I) [regular files]
- DUMP: Mapping (Pass II) [directories]
-
- DUMP: Estimates based on 1818 feet of tape at a density of 61000 BPI...
- DUMP: This dump will occupy 46545 (10240 byte) blocks on 1.85 tape(s).
-
- DUMP: Dumping (Pass III) [directories]
- ^C
- DUMP: *** INTERRUPT(Control-C) RECEIVED ***
- DUMP: NEEDS ATTENTION: Do you really want to abort dump?: ("yes" or "no") yes
- DUMP: The ENTIRE dump is aborted.
- #

-
- My question is what options can I give to dump to make it estimate
- the correct amount of tape?
-
- 1.85 tapes for approx. 445MB on a 1.2GB tape doesn't sound right
- to me.
-
- There is no problem with the dump, /usr and more fits on 1 tape but
- I would like to see correct tape estimates.
-
- Thanks for any help!
