     Hello all!
     
     We run nightly backups on our DECS, On one of our systems, when we run
     the backup, it gives out the following error:
     
     It finishes the dump on /, /usr, and /home and then for the next
     filesystem, it gives out the undergiven error. But, if I rewind the
     tape, and just do a dump of /usr/srcdata, it works fine. The tape
     drive we are using is TZ87 with COMPACT III cartridges.
     
     Working on Filesystem /usr/srcdata
     dump: Dumping from host nhcidb.vrinet.com
     dump: Date of this level 0 dump: Sun Jan 05 22:15:06 1997 EST
     dump: Date of last level 0 dump: the start of the epoch
     dump: Dumping /dev/rrz0f (/usr/srcdata) to /dev/nrmt0h
     dump: Mapping (Pass I) [regular files]
     dump: Mapping (Pass II) [directories]
     dump: Estimate: 391327 tape blocks on 9.70 volume(s)
     dump: Dumping (Pass III) [directories]
     dump: Volume 1, tape # 0001, begins with blocks from i-node 2
     dump: Dumping (Pass IV) [regular files]
     dump: 0.13% done -- finished in 00:26
     dump: Write error -- wanted to write: 10240, only wrote: -1
     slave_work(): write(): I/O error
     dump: Write error - /dev/nrmt0h, volume 1, 2026 feet -- cannot recover
     dump: Cannot fopen /dev/tty for reading
     query(): fopen(): No such device or address
     dump: Cannot remove shared memory
     remove_shared_memory(): shmctl(): Invalid argument
     dump: SIGTERM received -- Try rewriting
     dump: Unexpected signal -- cannot recover
     
     Any help will be appreciated!
     
     TIA
