I appreciate all the discussion about the problems with the current tape subsystem. I believe most of the discussion has been about handling EOF with read and write. I'd like to bring up the main problem I am having which is behavior of skipping file marks at EOD (end of recorded data). What should the behavior be if the tape has reached EOD (how that is marked, I don't care, but 2 EOFs seems good) and a request for skip forward file mark (or block I guess) is received? I would assume an error should be reported. The current action is 0 is returned and the driver logs an error (BLANK CHECK). Thanks, Scott Watters scott.watters@vina-tech.com http://www.vina-tech.com
