Re: xfsdump failure with ONSTREAM ADR50 drive

[John Kihonge <mkulima@sgi.com>]

Would you test the tape drive/tape to make sure it is writeble? Does the
xfsump command still fails if you load a different tape. Also "mt stat" the
drive to see what the output would be. A more detail output from the dump
session would help; try -v5 and post the log.

Thanks,
