What happens if you just command an mt rewind ?. Have you tried leaving the blocking-factor as default ?. Neil

The dump utility on a NetApp filer can only move data to a tape drive which is directly attached to a filer. It can not move data to a tape d rive which is attached to a Sun server.
What?
It works fine here - all you need is to have the remote shell daemon (rshd) running on the Sun box, with the NetApp filer allowed to run commands as root ("netapp.network root" in root's .rhosts file).
Alternatively, you could do something like:
rsh netapp dump 0u / > /dev/rmt/0
- the output of the netapp's 'dump' command will be sent to standard
output, which goes to the tape drive. Note that you won't be able to run multi-tape dumps like this.
