I can retension, erase, and all that fun stuff. But when I try to use mt weof to put multiple files on a tape, it bombs. Am I doing it wrong? Here's what I'm trying: tar cvf /dev/rwt0 /dir1 /dir2 /dir3 mt weof tar cvf /dev/rwt0 /dir4 /dir5 /dir6 After the first tar, the tape rewinds (I think.) Then mt weof sits there and shoeshines for forever. What am I doing wrong? Does wt0 even support these functions, or is this for SCSI only?
