Any idea at all how the tape was made? Was it a simple command like tar, cpio, dd? or maybe a client server tool like Amanda?
What does mt give for a status of the drive and it's tape? #mt -f /dev/rmt0 status Any idea what block size? Can you tar off the first tape header? mt -f /dev/rmt0 rewind tar -tvf /dev/rmt0.1 IF you had the disk space you could dd the entire tape image to disk.
