Large file systems

There's one practical problem with dump: To restore one file you may have
to read through several tapes.  This can be a problem if the file system
is used for "/users".  Apart from this I can't think of any problems.
I use a 1 GB system for /spool in production (7 tapes), in the future
it could be 2 GB concatenated on 2 drives.  The dumps are meant mainly
to cover disk failure, not random "rm *"'s by careless users.
