I am having problems getting the dump command to work as it should with an
Exabyte Eliant 820 tape drive connected a server running 1.3. I am using
Exabyte 160mXL tapes. I guess my problem stems from what options to run
with the dump command concerning density/size/dtc. Lets say i want make a
full on /a. What would be the dump command using a 8mm 160m tape?

usage: dump [-0123456789cnu] [-B records] [-b blocksize] [-d density] [-f
file]
            [-h level] [-s feet] [-T date] filesystem
       dump [-W | -w]

blocksize?density?feet?
