Hey.. I've been trying for quite a while to stuff more than one
backup on a tape using the mt command, but it just made my tape go
forward, and then back again. Does anyone know whether a "st0 at
scsibus0 targ 4 lun 0: <WANGTEK, 5150ES SCSI FA00, 20> SCSI1 1
sequential removable" would be prone to this end of medium misfeature?
