Hi,
Exact same problem here. If I restore manually (dd, tar) everything works
fine, but not with amrecover.
However, when the file I want to restore is in the *first* file on tape
amrecover works ok. And yes, I *am* using the non-rewinding device.....
Any clues?
I am also using a DI-30, via ide-scsi emulation, but it seems unlikely
that the tape drive causes the problem as manual seek and restore works ok.
Thanks,
Paul
