Is there any way to figure out which file no. and block no. a tape is
sitting at? Within solaris, an 'mt status' gives you a nice useful
display like:
Mammoth EXB-8900 8mm Helical Scan tape drive:
sense key(0x0)= No Additional Sense residual= 0 retries= 0
file no= 0 block no= 0
Is there any parallel in the BSD world? If not, why not? I find this
far far more important than knowing what other densities I can use.
