Ok... I thought I had solved the problem with a scsi tape drive I have on
one server.  Now I am randomly getting strange errors:

  DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Mon Nov  9 03:00:01 1998
  DUMP: Date of last level 0 dump: the epoch
  DUMP: Dumping /dev/sda1 (/) to /dev/nst0
  DUMP: mapping (Pass I) [regular files]
  DUMP: mapping (Pass II) [directories]
  DUMP: estimated 65693 tape blocks on 0.02 tape(s).
  DUMP: dumping (Pass III) [directories]
  DUMP: End of tape detected
  DUMP: Closing /dev/nst0
  DUMP: Change Volumes: Mount volume #2
  DUMP: fopen on /dev/tty fails: No such device or address
  DUMP: The ENTIRE dump is aborted.

what the hell does "fopen on /dev/tty fails: No such device or address" 
mean??

also I get:

/dev/nst0: I/O error

... when I try to 'mt -f /dev/nst0 offline'

This only happens some of the time, and it doesn't seem to be with any
particular tape(s)... Any ideas?
