I'm not 100% sure its writing, but when I try to write something and then use "mt -f /dev/sa0 status" I got correct status of writen files so I can just assume that everything is OK. Tape is fine I was using it in work in DDS2 tape drive. I have some problem with brand new tapes (DDS2 and DDS3) Serials are not problem. I have turned them off temporarily. Today I will try to read tape recorded on my machine im my work. Ted Mittelstaedt wrote: > How do you know it's actually writing?
