Hello,

please, please help me. Otherwise I will loose important data.

I have written tar files onto the tape using "cat filename >
/dev/nftape". When I had written everything I checked the status with
"mt -f /dev/nftape status" and indeed the data must have been written,
because there were only some 114 Meg left instead of the 400Meg before.

Unfortunatelly, I have forgotten to write an eof to the tape. Now, I
wanted to read the tar-files from the tape and cannot get them back.

The mt command always stops at the last file no 18. But this is not the
last one. And I cannot get beyond this file.

How can I get beyond this border line? Is there any way? I tried cat, dd
etc. Nothing worked.

My hardware is a PC with a seagate tapestore 3200. I use ftape 3.04d and
have a 2.0.33 kernel.

Please send me any any tips or hints, any ideas.

Thanks!!! In advance.

Markus
