Folks,
Before PK6, vdump will fail when the end of tape is reached. This is ok. Our
backup script can check for the message "out of space", unload the tape and
continue the backup with a new tape.
With PK6, the vdump process does not die. Somehow it expects a new tape to
be loaded and someone to press the "RETURN" for the vdump to continue. See
below.
vdump: Change Tapes: Mount tape# 0002
vdump: Press RETURN when tape is mounted...
How can this be done if the vdump is a background process from cron when it
does not get logged anywhere?
