Should gnutar -r be able to append an archive if the tape drive is a
1/4" type on a Sun-4 running SunOS 4.1.1?

I have been trying to use gnutar -rvf to append an archive and I've
been getting the following errors:

>gnutar: can't write to /dev/rst0:  : I/O error
gnutar: Blocksize = 1 records

and on the console:

 st0:     Error for command 'write', Error Level: 'Fatal'
        Block: 141219   File Number: 0
        Sense Key: Illegal Request
st0:    Error for command 'write file mark', Error Level: 'Fatal'
        Block: 141219   File Number: 0
        Sense Key: Illegal Request

Any ideas?
