I'm trying to use dump with an Archive Python DAT drive. The dump seems to work  
fine (using "dump 0fsu /dev/rst0 1200000 /dev/sd0a" for example). However, if I  
do "restore fi /dev/rst0" to check on the dump, it frequently does not work,  
reporting "Tape/disk read error: I/O error". I clean the drive regulary using a  
cleaning cartridge, and I've never had any problems with tar.

Has anyone else seen this behavior with dump and this DAT drive?

Thanks
