Note that this is a FreeBSD list and I know. >(comments made are with respect to the FreeBSD tape driver. Very little >(testing has been done with the same h/w under NetBSD) Sure. NetBSD currently lines up all known QIC drives in st.c's quirk table, most of them only to specify the blocksize. And it doesn't deal at all with the [12]FM@EOD issue. But the question whether to write one or two filemarks at EOD and how to deal with drives that do not like that (QIC) is neither driver- nor platform specific. hauke >As far as I know, it's only tcopy that is affected by this (tcopy doesn't >work on tapes that have a single tape mark). -- Hauke Fath Tangro Software Components GmbH D-69115 Heidelberg hf@Tangro.DE Ruf +49-6221-13336-35, Fax -21 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
