This is a new issue [was not present in -current a few months ago]. Attempting a dump to an HP C1533A DDS-2 drive, dump seems to "freeze the tape" at EOT. Inserting the next volume of the dump and typing "yes" only produces write errors. Performing an `mt rewind`, prior to typing "yes" clears the state, and allows the dump to continue. What's up with this? I can test changes to fix this if someone has a clue as to what is changed here. Not everyone can afford DLT for a single-tape backup, so this can be an issue effecting many freebsd users. --------------------- sa0 at ahc0 bus 0 target 5 lun 0 sa0: <HP C1533A 9503> Removable Sequential Access SCSI-2 device sa0: 10.000MB/s transfers (10.000MHz, offset 8) --------------------- Jul 12 07:45:00 wahoo /boot/kernel/kernel: (sa0:ahc0:0:5:0): WRITE FILEMARKS.
