Oh, I'm sorry, no. here are the results of that...
"SCSI 2 tape drive: File number=0, block number=0, partition=0. Tape block size 0 bytes. Density code 0x1b (DLT 35GB). Soft error count since last status=0 General status bits on (41010000): BOT ONLINE IM_REP_EN"
Hmm. A bunch of 0's; maybe the tape is bad??
I will use a tape that I know for certain is good... but seems like a bad tape would make some error light come on the unit...
You are at Begin Of Tape, so the rewind is really quick <grin>. Try specifying the non-rewind drive /dev/nst0. If there is data on the tape you can make the drive move with something like
export TAPE=/dev/nst0 mt fsf1 mt rewind mt offline
I always set TAPE so I don't have to type so much.
