okie dokie, here's what I was giving it:
xfsdump -m -b 16 -o -l0 -E -F -M"gumby" -L"home" -s home -f /dev/pt/0 /
Like I said its a parallel tape drive that I haven't got anything else to
work with either (tar works but not to the expected capacity) so it may
just be a problem in the device driver but since it core dumps without
even trying to dump I thought someone might be interested in if it turned
out to be a bug with xfsdump.
Thanx,
Russ
