Eventhough your tape can hold 14Gig, if your LTAPESIZE is set to 500000, then tbtape will prompt you for a new tape when this limit is reached. If this works and you are able to write more than 2Gig out to this tape, please let me know. We are limited to 2Gig dumps at a time because of Sun's ulimit. ##################################################################### David Nguyen \\\\\\|||/// ---------- Internet: david_nguyen@notes.pw.com . ======= / Uh... \\ Price Waterhouse / \\| O O | / Just restore \\ 3110 Fairview Park Dr \\ / \\v_'/ <- from tape. / Suite 300 # _| |_ \\ / Falls Church, VA 22042 (#) ( ) ---------- (703) 641-5597 #\\//|* *|\\\\ #\\/( * )/ # ===== #include disclaimer.h # (\\ /) Blah, Blah, Blah. # || || .#---'| |----. #----' -----' #####################################################################
