Hi, I'm using SuSE 7.0, Kernel 2.2.16 with no osst-driver - only aic7xxx, an Onstream ADR50i and I've got exactly the same problem. Writing to a 25GB-Tape will work fine - but when attempting to write data back, there seems to be a point/block (until ~1,2GB) where all readings fail. So changing to Kernel 2.2.18 or 2.4.x will maybe fix the problem? Christian > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: Gernot Schreib [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Gesendet: Mittwoch, 4.
