Also it works Spotted a case- I forgot that I haven't done the 'EOM early warning on writes' code yet (doing it now). If you're writing to end of tape, you'll actually get a hard error because you've written all the way to end of physical media, so the final filemarks will fail, and because I'm such a nice guy I'll eject the tape (or try to) because the failure won't let me know really where the tape is actually at. Only for QIC drives, that's a rewind. -matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
