apologies for the typo. note that the `restore -s` did not work.
here the problem report is with the problems in the problem report
fixed. :-)
btw, i suspect hardware. it's a bad scsi month for me.

sa0: 5.000MB/s transfers (5.000MHz, offset 8)
if a dump is taken with
/usr/bin/mt -f /dev/rsa0 rewind
/sbin/dump 0uaf /dev/nrsa0 /dev/wd0s2a
/sbin/dump 0uaf /dev/nrsa0 /dev/wd0s2e
/sbin/dump 0uaf /dev/nrsa0 /dev/wd0s2f
/sbin/dump 0uaf /dev/nrsa0 /dev/wd0s1
/usr/bin/mt -f /dev/rsa0 rewind
i expect five files to be written to the tape. but, if i issue
/usr/bin/mt -f /dev/nrsa0 fsf 2
the tape fast forwards all the way to the end, pauses, then fast rewinds
to the beginning and barfs
# this is now an actual cut and paste
# /usr/bin/mt -f /dev/nrsa0 fsf 2
mt: /dev/nrsa0: fsf: Input/output error
i know that it is a full rewind because if i then issue
/sbin/restore -if /dev/rsa0
i see the first file system as opposed to the third.
i get the same result with
/usr/bin/mt -f /dev/rsa0 rewind
/sbin/restore -if /dev/rsa0 -s 2 # this should not need no-rewind
i can actually get the five 'files' by
for i in 1 2 3 4 5; do
/bin/dd if=/dev/nrsa0 bs=64k of=tape%i
done
and then see each of the files properly with restore.
what am i misunderstanding here?
