Changing several parameters of a tape drive/autoloader unit seems to
remains DDS-4 media unuseable.

I playes around with mt blocksize, mt seteotmodel and tried to do backups
either via tar or afbackup. But now several tape media seems to force the
tape drive unit to recognize this medium as "Worn Media'.

I tried an erase, without success. It hink it is a simple 'trick' to get back a valid
tape, but how?

Thanks for your mail.

Oliver
