The T4000 'worked' fine on a different FreeBSD box (not at all on a Linux, no idea what to do to make it see it) until I tried a bsf mt command, now the tape is not at the start or wherever and I get /kernel: st0(aha0:4:0): MEDIUM ERROR asc:15,2 /kernel: st0(aha0:4:0): Positioning error detected by read of medium I can't believe anyone uses these devices for backups .... any idea how to force it to rewind regardless of position??
