[flexbackup-help] flexbackup 'unknown error' after 300mb..

[Kel G. <ke...@or...>]

Hello,

I've got a DDS-2 DAT drive (an HP1533A), with DCLZ hardware compression
turned on, which should allow me 4GB uncompressed / 8GB compressed.

Whenever I run a level 0 backup, flexbackup seems to exit after 300MB, the
error as follows:

buffer (writer): write of data failed: Unknown error: 0
bytes to write=32768, bytes written=0, total written     299648K
afio: "-" [offset 1946628398m+640k+0]: Fatal error:
afio: "-": Broken pipe

ERROR from backup, exiting
offending command(s):
/usr/local/bin/buffer -m 10m -s 32k -u 100 -t -p 75 -B -o /dev/nrsa0
/usr/local/bin/afio -o -z -v -b 32k -
find . -xdev -depth ! -regex .*/[Cc]ache/.* ! -regex .*~$ -print


I'm intrigued, as the offset is shown as 1946628398m+640k+0.
du -h shows approx 6.8GB of data being backed up. If this was a problem, I
would have thought the backup would choke at around 4/6GB, not 300MB.

Tapes are brand new, dds-2.

Any thoughts gratefully received.

Thanks,
Kel.
