        I have a problem concerning to vdump:

        My operating system is Digital Unix 4.0b

        When I'm using vdump and the tape reaches its end,
                vdump aborts giving the message:

        vdump: out of space and unable to prompt input for new tape;
                                        [25] Not a typewriter

        This is my logfile:
    ------------------------------------------------------------------
        path : /mydir
        dev/fset : /dev/rz20g
        type : ufs
        vdump: Date of last level 0 dump: the start of the epoch
        vdump: Dumping directories
        vdump: Dumping 267674110 bytes, 1 directories, 1180 files
        vdump: Dumping regular files

        vdump: Status at Fri Jan 23 21:01:50 1998
        vdump: Dumped 84398786 of 267674110 bytes; 31.5% completed
        vdump: Dumped 1 of 1 directories; 100.0% completed
        vdump: Dumped 99 of 1180 files; 8.4% completed

        vdump: out of space and unable to prompt input for new tape;
                                [25] Not a typewriter
    ------------------------------------------------------------------

        Here is (part of) the command file I use:

                # /sbin/vdump NuD /mydir >& mylogfile.log

        (i use the option N because it is the second dump on the same tape)
        
        The shell script i create is executed in the background.

        
        I'd appreciate some help. Thanks in advance.
