Re: Looking to read past EOT on DDS/DLT/LTO

[Craig Ruff]

For the NCAR Mass Storage System, when we upgraded our tape drives to Sun STK 
T10000 models, we lost the ability to skip past the EOT mark with standard 
firmware.  We asked Sun to provide a firmware modification that let us issue 
four or so reads after reaching the EOT mark, and the drive would then continue 
on until it found good data again.  We didn’t need it very often, but it was 
handy to recover single copy data.
