Message-ID: <PHoward-250393100919@macabre.stmarys.ca> Followup-To: comp.os.386bsd.bugs Sender: usenet@nstn.ns.ca (NNTP Entity) Organization: Saint Mary's University, Halifax NS Date: Thu, 25 Mar 1993 14:08:03 GMT Lines: 36 rdump is giving me an error about "botched" protocol in rmtgets when I try: # rdump 0usf 145000 husky1:mub0:/nounload/nomount/norewind /dev/wd0a ...gives: DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Tue Mar 23 09:24:28 1993 DUMP: Date of last level 0 dump: the epoch DUMP: Dumping /dev/rwd0a (/) to mub0:/nomount/norewind/nounload on host husky1 DUMP: mapping (Pass I) [regular files] DUMP: mapping (Pass II) [directories] DUMP: estimated 146023 tape blocks on 0.06 tape(s). DUMP: Protocol to remote tape server botched (in rmtgets). rdump: Lost connection to remote host. DUMP: Bad return code from dump: 1 ...to a VAX/VMS (husky1, by name) 8mm tape drive. I *have* tried putting the tape parameters (/nothis/nothat) elsewhere and I've even tried leaving them out, though I'm told that would screw up the format of the tape since VMS defaults would be used. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Philip ---------------- Philip M.
