I have a Seagate tape drive in a FreeBSD server that seems to work when tar to create a tape archive but when I try to read the data back I get most of the files tested ok until it gets near the end of the tape when gzip (running tar with the -z option) and then tar complain about "unexpected end of file." This is only a two week old drive and I have tried it with two different tapes with the same result. Using dump to try to create a backup fails while writing to the tape. Any ideas where I should look for the problem so I can fix it? -- Ben. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
