Re: fms on IBM RISC 6000 (AIX 3.2.5)

With AFS 3.3 and above, when you hit the end of tape
the butc will restart the volume on the next tape.
Of course if you've written 99% of a large volume
when EOT occurs, you've wasted time and burned network
resource, so you should try to have a reasonable size for
your tape in tapeconfig.  I use 4400M for a 5 gig
tape without compression.  I was using 4700M but
would still hit EOT occasionally.
