90% of the time you access the dat drive via dump, FreeBSD goes off and scrambles the other disks in the system. This sucks, and has happened to me several times. And how the hell can I do a fsck -b with the install disks, I had no way to specify the backup sectors, so had to do a complete re-install! Ugh. Also how come fsck doesnt try the well known backup sectors when it goes (i.e. 32, 65535.. ) How-To-Repeat: dump to /dev/rst0 during system operation anytime.
State Changed From-To: open->closed Ever since 07xx-SNAP the tape seems to behaving correctly. You can nix the problem. Thanks for inquiring!
