We consistantly get about 2.05 GB on 106m Sony (P6-120MP) tapes.  We use
"dump 0ucfsb /dev/nrst0 120000 126b /partition".  The 120000 size is
actually too big, and our dumps blow up with write errors at just a little
over 2 GB on a tape.  We just don't dump more partitions to one tape than
we know will fit.
