The last time that situation came up here Jon, having runtapes > 1 didn't help. Due to the lack of a working ioctl for rewind in amanda or chg-scsi, it failed. But thats nothing new. Apparently I have the only system in the world that from amanda-2.4.1 and RH6.2 through FC2 and whatever the last amanda-2.4.4/5b/px is, and 3 mobo/cpu replacements for where the drive lived, still cannot rewind a tape with anything but mt. Am I nuts? Rhetorical, please don't anwser that! -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
