I have a problem concerning to vdump:
My operating system is Digital Unix 4.0b
When I'm using vdump and the tape reaches its end,
vdump aborts giving the message:
vdump: out of space and unable to prompt input for new tape;
[25] Not a typewriter
This is my logfile:
------------------------------------------------------------------
path : /mydir
dev/fset : /dev/rz20g
type : ufs
vdump: Date of last level 0 dump: the start of the epoch
vdump: Dumping directories
vdump: Dumping 267674110 bytes, 1 directories, 1180 files
vdump: Dumping regular files
vdump: Status at Fri Jan 23 21:01:50 1998
vdump: Dumped 84398786 of 267674110 bytes; 31.5% completed
vdump: Dumped 1 of 1 directories; 100.0% completed
vdump: Dumped 99 of 1180 files; 8.4% completed
vdump: out of space and unable to prompt input for new tape;
[25] Not a typewriter
------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is (part of) the command file I use:
# /sbin/vdump NuD /mydir >& mylogfile.log
(i use the option N because it is the second dump on the same tape)
The shell script i create is executed in the background.
I'd appreciate some help. Thanks in advance.
