I can happily write to my Exabyte drive and read back from tapes created
on my machine but I cannot read tapes from other machines such as Sun/OS
boxes.
I have tried setting the tape blocksize to 0 as per the FAQ but still get
19:34:35> dd if=/dev/rst0 |pg
dd: /dev/rst0: I/O error
0+0 records in
0+0 records out
and
tar: read error on /dev/rst0 : I/O error
These mesage appears with or without a "mt setblk 0" and with all of the
bs settings that I have tried so far.
Could sombody please tell me the magic words.
Cheers and thanks,
Stephen.
