My Sony SDT 2000 DAT-Drive works fine using tar on /dev/rst0.
But the attempt to dump/restore failed. Dump reports no errors.
According to man sd for Exabyte-Drives whith the command

	dump 0fs /dev/rst0 1200000 /dev/rsd0a

a level 0 dump was written on the tape. Trying to restore by

	restore if /dev/rst0
	
I receive

	Tape/disk read error: I/O error
	
and on console

	st: cmd = 0x8 sr_io_status = 2H
    Sense key = 0x0  Sense Code = 0x0

The tape is ok, tar does it's job read/write, and I'm confused. Any hints ?
