Simply put, I'm using an Exabyte 8505XL tape drive and dump fails upon reaching the EOT.

Some system background...

Kernel 2.4.20-ac2
IDE Hard disk and IDE CDRom

There was a posting by Linux himself, saying NOT to use dump with the 2.4 kernel, because it would at some point cause corruption. I have not heard if this is fixed. You might want to look into something like tar, cpio, amanda, or arkeia (http://www.arkeia.com).

arkeia is a little tedious to setup, but once you get it working, it works great and is easy to use.
