I'm using xfsdump from cvs (I think it is from 5/30/01 but might be
6/5/01) to attempt to backup an xfs filesystem to an HP Colorado 8GBe
parallel tape drive.  Every time I try to use the -m option (the
parallel tape driver is a very minimal tape device driver and suggests
specifying 16k as the block size) xfsdump core dumps with the following
error:

drive_minrmt.c:1820: do_get_write_buf: Assertion 'contextp->dc_nextp <
contextp->dc_recendp' failed.

Is this a bug or just an incompatiblity with the minimalness of the pt
driver?

Thanx,
Russ
