I have read several postings regarding that DDS-tape-issue, describing
why and how to reset these tapes. I have heard pros and cons and would
like to ask all of you how I could sum up this topic for the
AMANDA-docs. If this is an issue that comes up for amanda-users when
using DDS-drives (and it seems to be so) then we should document this
in the docs. I am ready to do that, I just ask for your help to get
all the facts straight.
