I dump about 10 NeXTs using rdump early each morning.  Level 4 dumps.
Each NeXT is running NS 2.2.  My tape device is and 8MM Exabyte.
I two of the machines get used very
little, so their filesystems if pretty constant.  When I do a dump of
those two machines, I get the following:

 DUMP: mapping (Pass II) [directories]
  DUMP: estimated -24265 tape blocks on -0.01 tape(s).
  DUMP: dumping (Pass III) [directories]

The length could be wrong because I do all of the machines with a
nightly script, and don't recalculate the amount of tape left after
the previous dumps.  So I imagine I am safe here.  My tape capacity is
well over the amount of data being written to tape, but I think
negative numbers are usually a bad thing in this case...
