I had tried:
$mt{'setblk'} = 'nop';
so that could have been my issue

There is no command for mt that allows you to set blocksize,
least none that I've found. This was on a Sun E5500,
running Solaris 9, and the Sun DLT7000.
You can specify it with ufsdump, though, although higher than 126
with a cartridge (or any tape I believe) isn't recommended. (?)
Sorry, been up for 24 hours now, as ufsdump was being used incorrectly in
a backup script, and the only fs written to tape was /!!
So I have been in panic mode.
I finally have ufsdump working now, and I'm more accustomed to Linux,
which is what I wish the server was running.
I will try flexbackup on my Linux servers, though, when I return to the
sanity of them.
Frankly, I'd still like to try flexbackup, so I'll try the single quotes
either Sunday or Monday.
thank you!
Ken
Sorry, real tired.
