Hello,
A question for all of you out there that have a tape drive that sits on
your floppy drive ribbon cable (IDE): I am using /dev/wt0 and am not
getting a 'Cannot open output "/dev/wt0"' error. Am I doing something wrong?
Here's what happens when I try to dump:
rws49# dump 0usdf 425 35000 /dev/wt0 /dev/wd1e
DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Fri Dec 1 23:28:53 1995
DUMP: Date of last level 0 dump: the epoch
DUMP: Dumping /dev/rwd1e (/usr) to /dev/wt0
DUMP: mapping (Pass I) [regular files]
DUMP: mapping (Pass II) [directories]
DUMP: estimated 190713 tape blocks on 1.91 tape(s).
DUMP: Cannot open output "/dev/wt0".
DUMP: Do you want to retry the open?: ("yes" or "no") yes
DUMP: Cannot open output "/dev/wt0".
DUMP: Do you want to retry the open?: ("yes" or "no") yes
DUMP: Cannot open output "/dev/wt0".
DUMP: Do you want to retry the open?: ("yes" or "no") no
DUMP: The ENTIRE dump is aborted.
I have a Colorado Jumbo 350 that uses DC 2120XL (425 feet) tapes.
I am makeing a guess at the BPI for 35000. Thanks in advance.
Grant
