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, Scott Watters scott.watters@vina-tech.com http://www.vina-tech.com
