To the best of my knowledge, Sun networks certainly *can't* cluster to do dumps, at least not in the way you're describing. Dump can't work over NFS, for one thing; it needs access to the raw disk device, and NFS doesn't provide that. It is possible to cobble something together so that the machine with the tape rshes out and dumps the others to its tape. Heck, Sun doesn't even support (i.e., sell and maintain) Exabyte tape units. Of course, if you know something different, and can post details, I'd like to hear them... -Steve Spoken: Steve Miller Domain: steve@mimsy.umd.edu UUCP: uunet!mimsy!steve Phone: +1-301-454-1808 USPS: UMIACS, Univ. of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742
