What I am trying to do is put multiple level 1 dumps on the same tape. The way I do this is by first rewinding the tape, writing the 1st dump, rewinding the tape, mt -f /dev/rmt20 fsf 1 (skipping over the first dump using the no_rewind device), writing the 2nd dump, rewinding the tape, etc..... I can restore the 1st dump ok, but trying to restore any of the others gives me the following error: # mt rew # mt -f /dev/rmt20 fsf 1 # restore iv Verify tape and initialize maps Dump date: Wed Nov 25 09:02:36 1987 Dumped from: Thu Nov 19 12:57:03 1987 Cannot find file dump list # Any ideas? I would prefer if I could get this to work instead of having to use 1 tape per dump (I am aware that I CAN'T put multiple level 0 dumps on the same tape -- my level 1 dumps are relatively small, though, so all of my level 1 dumps WILL fit on one tape).
