Hi,

I have an exabyte tape drive attached to a sparc running Linux 2.0.30.
I can use tar etc perfectly, but would like to use dump to backup
my server. the server is a PC running Linux and has no scsi controller
so moving the drive is out of the question.

I've tried the following, without much success:

server# dump 0f root@ws:/dev/nst0 /

all I get back is:

Permission denied.
TCP_MAXSEG setsockopt: Bad file number

rmt is on both machines so there should be no problem there.

Has anybody battled with this stuff?

grant
