No. There's nothing magic about multiple filemarks noting so-called EOT. Clearly the drive allows you to write multiple filemarks at EOT, but then hasn't the slightest intention of actually allowing you to then append, so I fail to see how this would be an issue. I should note that I doubt that this drive is 'supported' under either HP-UX or Solaris. > Matthew Jacob <mjacob@feral.com> writes: > > > It's my opinion you should set the EOT model to one filemark for this drive. > > would not this cause a problem to write a tape under FreeBSD w/ 1 EOT > and reading it under another system (say HP-UX ao Solaris) ? > > Cyrille. > -- > home: mailto:clefevre@poboxes.com UNIX is user-friendly; it's just particular > work: mailto:Cyrille.Lefevre@edf.fr about who it chooses to be friends with. > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
