Hello,

Is there any difference between the "/dev/rmt/0un" and "/dev/rmt/0cn" tape
devices. This is on an Ultra 60 running Sun OS5.8

I am trying to get the best from my HP vs80 DLT1 tape drive. This unit is
an imitation DLT but is supposed to hold 80G. I can only get about 40G onto
the tape before hitting EOT. Using some info from HP's web site I added an
entry to st.conf. The output from "mt status" seems to indicate the change
worked. But
the backups keep over flowing the tape.
