When dumping several devices to a single tape under the SUN OS using the
following series of commands in a dump shell script:

	dump 9ufd /dev/nrmt8 6250 /dev/rxy0a
	dump 9ufd /dev/nrmt8 6250 /dev/rxy0e
	dump 9ufd /dev/nrmt8 6250 /dev/rxy0g

What happens if nothing has changed on /dev/rxy0e?  Does dump still create a
dump tape file for this device or does it just ignore the command and leave
the tape alone?
