I am using a Sun-3/60, whats the dump(8) command line that one should use,
to properly fill a data cartridge (3M 600A 600feet rated for 60MB
capacity).  The default options for size, blockfactor, density doesn't
seem to fill as much as the cartridge is rated for. Although if I use,
cpio or tar I can put close to 60MB or more. I am using /dev/rst8.

Anybody who experimented and found a solution, I would greatly appreciate
if you could share some info. Thanks in advance. Please email directly if
possible.
