Aucbvax.3081 fa.unix-wizards utzoo!decvax!ucbvax!unix-wizards Fri Sep 11 09:11:46 1981 Runaway Dumps >From yale@NOSC-SDL Fri Sep 11 09:03:05 1981 Has anyone running V6 Unix on a PDP 11/40 ever had this problem: Tapes running away only when dump is called. The other tape systems like tp, stp, and the dd feature work ok--in fact I am using dd to back up the system. The problem at first was confined to one drive; then the other drive became affected. So far the technicians found no gross defects in the tape drive hardware. I recompiled dump and even reloaded a system two years old all to no avail.

All suggestions and advice are welcome.
