Hi Brent,

Thanks very much for posting this.  One request for clarification:

Do those options need to be cleared before *writing* the dump, or only
when trying restore the dump?  I suspect the former, but wanted to
check. 

Also (and please forgive my ignorance of this topic), is there a
straightforward way to see what options are set for the drive already?
It wasn't obvious in the 'mt' man page.  Finally, I assume that these
options would need to be set/cleared after each reboot, but not in
between?

Thanks very much,

Eric
