by Hello,
I'm looking for help with configurations for a 4mm tape drive.
I can tar and dd samll files to the tape, however when I try to
perfrom a dump of a filessystem it fails. The dump request a second
tape only after a few minutes, which leads me to think the tape
density setting or something is hosed. Also my whole system is huing
and the only thing I can do is cycle the power and crash the system to
regain control. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
Added following line to /etc/conf.module
