Changing several parameters of a tape drive/autoloader unit seems to remains DDS-4 media unuseable. I playes around with mt blocksize, mt seteotmodel and tried to do backups either via tar or afbackup. But now several tape media seems to force the tape drive unit to recognize this medium as "Worn Media'. I tried an erase, without success. It hink it is a simple 'trick' to get back a valid tape, but how? Thanks for your mail. Oliver -- MfG O.
