Darn- I would have thought " SLR*" would catch all the Tandberg models, but I guess not.. Umm- it's not putting the drive in fixed length mode, and with the write append error I shouldn't wonder that it's also terminating the tape with two filemarks. Variable mode should be okay (Well, *I* think variable mode for QIC drives is foolish, but there are those out there who don't agree). Either set SA_QUIRK_1FM for this drive (and fixed if you want it), or use mt -f /dev/nrsa0 seteotmodel 1 before using the tape and see what happens. -matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
