We're running the latest FreeBSD 3.4-STABLE. Whenever we seek to EOM, either through "mt eom" or "mt fsf [count]" after the last file written to the tape, the driver get's confused, looses it's place, and freezes the tape if we attempt to append another file or attempt to bsf and read or write to the tape.

This is on a DLT2000. We don't have another tape drive to test if this is particular to the DLT2000. Anyone else seeing this?
