The drive: Archive Anaconda 1.35 GB SCSI tape drive Dumps: /sbin/dump 0unBbf 1200000 10 /dev/nrst0 <file system> Since my entire drive is only 1GB, I use /dev/nrst0 and dump a few filesystems to the same tape. After upgrading to 2.2.2 a couple weeks ago, I cannot read either of my most recent dump tapes: # /sbin/restore if /dev/rst0 Tape block size (512) is not a multiple of dump block size (1024) # /sbin/restore ibf 10 /dev/rst0 Checksum error 35657234340, inode 0 file (null) Tape is not a dump tape # /sbin/restore ibf 1 /dev/rst0 Tape read error while trying to set up tape continue? [yn] n Any ideas on how can I get at these tapes? Thanks- Russ Murphy
