Hi all
My Alpha server 4100 (du 4.0F - no patches) gives a strange problem.
I tried to back up a file system (vdump in verbose mode) with large no.
of files. After almost half way, it outputs only dashes ("-"). I
thought vdump is hanging and the dt terminal also stopped responding.

But accidently I tried to copy those dahes to an editor - alas!!!
each dash got transformed into a line - out put of vdump!!!!


Is it a terminal problem?? or display card or setting???
I am using Elsa gloria card
TIA
sajan
