Hello, I just attached a DLT7000 drive to my FreeBSD box and have been trying to put a very large file on the tape. I'm a total newbie to this SCSI tape stuff. Here's what happened: # tar --create --file /dev/rst0 --verify super_big_four_gigabyte_plus_file tar in free(): warning: junk pointer, too high to make sense. super_big_four_gigabyte_plus_file: size differs # What did I do wrong? I tried the same thing on some small test files and it worked superbly. Pointers, web pages, e-mail, etc. all welcomed! Aaron out.
