In response to Hans von Kleist-Retzow's question in v7n165, the following command sequence will do the job: tar cf /dev/nrst8 files ... mt -f /dev/rst8 rew mt -f /dev/nrst8 fsf 1 <- You MUST use nrst8 here tar cf /dev/nrst8 files ... <- And here too mt -f /dev/rst8 rew mt -f /dev/nrst8 fsf 2 tar cf /dev/nrst8 files ... and so on ... One would imagine that a series of "tar cf /dev/nrst8 ..." commands would work but I have not reliably been able to space forward to later files on tapes written this way. Chris Brown, A.I.
