I'm having a problem with compression on an Mammoth2
tape drive (firmware v05c) connected to an
Enterprise E420R running Solaris 2.6
ufsdump has recently started hitting EOT and requesting
a 2nd tape to be inserted. The largest filesystem being
backed up to that tape is just over 65GB containing user's
mailboxes (i.e. text files - should be good compression)
The native capacity of the M2 drive is 60GB so I should not
be hitting EOT at 65GB.
The st.conf setting is set to the Exabyte recommended
setting:
"EXABYTE Mammoth2", "Exabyte Mammoth2", "EXB-M2";
EXB-M2 = 1,0x35,0,0x1de39,1,0x28,0;
The ufsdump command I'm using (inside a shell script) is:
ufsdump 0ubf 512 /dev/rmt/0n /dev/md/rdsk/d13
Has anyone seen this compression problem before? Anyone
with different st.conf settings? I found a webpage with
test comparison results between DLT and M2 that had
a minor difference in the st.conf setting.
Thanks
Tom Jones
