Nothing later than 3402 will write from the holding disk to the tape. The taper.*.debug log shrinks from 16 or 17k to 794 bytes, and that is the one you have already. From 3411 on, I cannot flush whats in the holding disk even when running amflush by hand, amflush exits about 2 or 3 seconds after tapping the drive with one read, and one small write, probably the status file, and without any further data being added to the taper.debug file. I have 3427 installed for tonights run, with two changes, taper_debug is now set to 2 as 9 made a 170+ megabyte taper.*.debug file last night, and dumps has moved to a partition with 600Gb more space. Tonight's run will test my theory. If it fails, then I back up to 3402 & see if I can flush it by hand. I know I can with 3341. More after the run. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
