Hi!

I am trying to read back tape archives i made using a tar.

These tapes are DDS-2 and DDS-4.
My drive is
<SONY SDT-10000 0110>              at scbus0 target 5 lun 0 (pass1,sa0)

under
FreeBSD-4.6-Stable

I type "tar tv" and I have
tar: read error on /dev/sa0 : Input/output error

mt status returns
Mode      Density              Blocksize      bpi      Compression
Current:  0x13:X3B5/88-185A    1024 bytes     61000    disabled

Current Driver State: at rest.

File Number: 0  Record Number: 0        Residual Count 0


I have tried to enable and disable compression with no success.

Any advices are welcome.

Thanks

Phil.
