Can anyone explain why a rdump of rather small filesystem to a
remote tape drive would require more than 1 8mm tape? When I
back the filesystem up on the local device, it only uses a fraction
of the tape. But the rdump is looking for at least 3 8mm.

The rrestore doesnt work at all. The file access permissions do not
allow the specified action. I added s bit to command and enabled
extended permissions. Any ideas? Tony

I had the same problem with rdump asking for many 8mm tapes when
backing up a large filesystem. It worked when I used it with
"-s 999999" in the command.

I'm not sure if the 9s are documented anywhere, but we use it and
the -s switch with the command backup as well.
