thanks for the tip ...

I should mention that this is not an installation I did myself but a
support call from a *new* customer (first contact today). And they run a
backup box which wasn't documented by the former admin so I am pretty
much left with the configs and logs on the box.

As far as I see from this they used a bs of 32k so I used it (as you see
in my example).

Aside from that "mt fsf" should work reliably anyway ...

thanks, Stefan
