I typed "mt blocksize 0", and -- the first time -- I could tar -t and tar -x a file from my old DC 6525. Great! So far :-( I extracted a small file close to the beginning of the tape. It took just a few seconds (as usual) and the file was on my disk. But after that, the tape didn't rewind and stop, as it did in former time, it now is rewinding forwards and backwards since more than 30 minutes. What a surprise Martin Kraft P.S. 35 minutes. Just another turn. I will kill the tar process, because I don't have a fire extinguisher at home ... Very strange ...
