No, but specifying -B4589840 in the line works. I have no Idea why it won't autodetect. Anyway, thanks for the help. This is a client's machine running 6-STABLE, and I was hoping it wouldn't turn into a retirement project this weekend, which it didn't. If anyone wants to track this down, I'm in (relatively) close proximity to the box, and I'll be more than happy to do some further testing later in the week. Beech -- --- Beech Rintoul - Sys.

Re: Dump to DVD
Hi Well I know this is a bit OT, but amanda can do spit 'dump's over multilple tapes/dvds/whatever.

Dump to DVD
Can someone give me a bit of help? I'm trying to dump /user to multiple DVD's and keep getting a write error when the DVD runs out of space. I need an example of the proper command. I think I need to add file size to the command, but I'm not quite sure how to do it. I don't normally use DVD's so this is a bit new to me. TIA Beech -- --- Beech Rintoul - Sys.

Change the speed to match your drive and media, and the dump level to match what you want to do.

Try: dump -0au -L -f /dev/cd0 / I also had problems when I specified the size. Beech -- --- Beech Rintoul - Sys.

Dump to DVD problem.
I am trying to use dump/restore to backup my filesystems to DVD. I am using a DVD+RW, format it with dvd+rw-format -force /dev/cd0, and then do: dump -0 -b 32 -B 4590208 -f /dev/cd0 / to backup the root filesystem. I do this after going to single user mode. It seems that dump is perhaps not properly closing the file? The DVD drive light remains on, and I get errors from restore: tape read error: Unknown error: 0 dvd+rw-mediainfo /dev/cd0 is more informative: /dev/cd0: unable to open: Device busy I *can* dump to a file on a filesystem, and use growisofs to write this dump file to the DVD. No problems mounting and reading the resulting dump file. Unfortunately, I do not have enough free disk space to do this with my larger file systems. This is with 5.3-RELEASE. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. sdb -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
