Well, you didn't say anything about what software you are using or which
Colorado tape drive you are using. So I'll guess you are using tar and mt.
Any tape drive has two devices, one for rewind, one non-rewind. The
rewind device automatically rewinds the tape after a read or write, so
positioning the device at the beginning of the tape again, ready for some
other action on the volume just written. To write several volumes to a
tape, use the non-rewind device.
For example: the rewind device for my travan drive is /dev/st1, and the no
rewind device is the same file name witn an n prefixed, like so:
/dev/nst1.
