I haven't been able to use it fully under FreeBSD because for some of these operations I need to *know* (determine) the actual size of the tape blocks, and I haven't figured out how to do this yet. This software can handle arbitrary blocksizes on the tape. I don't *know* how often this really happened, but I know it used to work (for example, I have boot tapes where the first file was in 512-byte blocks, and subsequent files were 262144-byte blocks (or something)). H PS - In case anybody remembers it, I'm talking about the Ansitar package. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
