It's understandable you're upset about this (I would be, too), but aside
from the general experience level with tape drives on this list, I'm
not sure why you're asking your questions here. You should be bugging
the hell out of OnStream (hourly phone calls demanding the problem be
escalated to next level support are one approach) and the Linux folks.
Or (in my opinion) looking for a better tape drive vendor. They cost
more, but I wouldn't give up my DLT's for **anything**.

Tell them to buy a new tape drive that works. If they squawk about price,
reminde them how much time and money have been wasted on what they have,
and what losses have happened (or will) because backups are not working.
