I am trying to get Xbru 2000 (commercial archive/backup program)
to work on FreeBSD 2.2.5 with a Adaptec 2940 and Archive Python.
It seems that to append an archive to a tape, the xbru software does
several "mt fsf" commands to determine how many "files" are on
the tape. It expects, correctly I think, to receive an EOM (end
of media) error when the tape gets to the end of recorded data.
However mt never returns an error, but the kernel logs a message
like this:

Dec  3 17:42:14 newserver /kernel: st0(ahc0:6:0): BLANK CHECK req sz: 1
(decimal) asc:0,5 End-of-data detected

Has anyone had this problem? Is it a bug in the driver or mt?
Any help would be appreciated so I can get multiple backups
on a single tape.

Thanks,
