Are you sure? Can you send me the output of the following shell
script, please?
------------------------- snip -------------------------
tar -cf /dev/nqft0 /etc/fstab
tar -cf /dev/nqft0 /etc/inittab
ftmt -f /dev/nqft0 rewind
tar -tf /dev/nqft0
ftmt -f /dev/nqft0 fsf
tar -tf /dev/nqft0
------------------------- end -------------------------
This should write two archives which contain just a single file. Then
it will rewind the tape, and list the first archive, move to the next
archive, and list the second archive.
The output should consist of the two lines
etc/fstab
etc/inittab
