[foxboro] tape drive question


Hi all,

We recently purched a Sony quad speed DDS-2 tape drive.
When using the ufsdump utility to back up an entire hard drive, the Sony
drive uses 512 blocks.
We sent a tape off to Foxboro and they could not read it. The Foxboro tape
drives use 1024 blocks.

I know with the tar command you can specify block size in multiples of 512
with the B switch.
Is there a similar switch for the usfdump?

thanks,
