I just upgraded from RH8.0 to FC1 on a Dell 6600. 4 processors, 4Gig ram,
heaps of swap enabled. All current yum updates applied. tape drive is a
PV 122T (200Gig tapes).

What used to take dump (RH8.0) about an hour to backup 80 Gig to tape now
looks like will take about 12 hours. I killed the dump. The CPU load every
now and then will go upto around 30 with most of that time in system time.

So something is broken. Is it dump or the writing to a tape drive? I'll
do some experiments later and see if I can figure out more.

Anyone seen anything like this.
