  We just received an 8mm EXAByte drive for evaluation on our 3240.
Can anyone tell me what values I should be using for the dump.ffs s and
d parameters ?  If I do not specify them, dump.ffs tells me that it needs
approximately 0.3 tapes to back up  /  (which is only 22 Mb !).
Also, is it possible to dump several filesystems on one tape ? How ?
