So my question is if I have 3 fileSys on the tape how do I erase all at once? Thanks! FYI: The reason I have to do this is the tape gets block size confused sometimes (maybe once per month) and this is the only way I have found to fix the tape problem:( It happens at random on different boxes and tapes. I use tar for backups.
