Hi,

I was wondering if anyone is using a WangDAT Model 1300 4mm SCSI tape drive
for backups on FreeBSD?  The tape drive is capable of writing 2GB to tape.
I'm trying to 'dump' a filesystem to tape which is far less that 2GB but,
'dump' seems to think I don't have enough tape.  Is there some configuration
file that I should edit and add the WangDATS parameters too for 'dump'.

I'd appreciate any pointers, I'm running FreeBSD 2.1.6.

regards
