I am trying to make a tape backup on our old unix system. The tape I am trying to make is called a "Root" tape. I am using CPIO to make the tape but when I run out of space I get an error instead of it just asking for another tape. My understanding is that there should be a part in the command line that tells CPIO how big the tape is. The command line I am using to write to tape is: find . -mount -depth -print|cpio -ov >/dev/rct0
What would I add to tell it how much space is on the tape? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
