I've read and been impressed by your FreeBSD propaganda and have converted to your platform from Slackware Linux. During the migration, I backed up all my serious data to QIC-80 tapes using tar. Now when I try to retrieve the data, the ft filter says that I've inserted the wrong volume and won't accept the volume name of the Linux-generated tape. How do I get around this? The data was a backup of an old operating system for my pdp11 and I can't replace it, so it's critical. thanks in advance Jacob Ritorto To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
