    ufsdump error

    Hi, Have you tried a different tape cartridge? If the error is repeated despite using new media, you can check /var/adm/messages, perhaps there is a notice about periodic head cleaning required. I have also found that retensioning your tape cartridges helps (mt -f /dev/rmt/0 retension). Hope...

    SCO Unix vs. SUN

    Hi Danny, There are no real major differences. Most tasks like backing up and scheduled reboots and cleaning up of temporary files etc can be done by scheduling through cron and/or at jobs.
