Hello:

   When I take a backup using the command:

tar cvf /dev/ftape <huge directory to be backed up>

I get the following messages in /var/log/messages after sometime.
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Can you please help?

Ftape however seems to work fine for small directories. Is the tape getting
stuck?

                 Thanks,
                       Vasu
