My first exayte ever too:
I copied four logical files onto the exabyte using
a command like
tar cvbf 126 /dev/nrst0 directoryname
(might have got something garbled there).
Files 3 and 4 are fine. I.e., if I say something like
mt -f /dev/nrst0 fsf 3
tar tvbf /dev/nrst0
then file 4 lists fine. Ditto with file 3.
Attempting to list the contents of File 1 and 2 gives "tar:
premature EOF". I wonder why. All within a day of taking
the backup.
It was a brand new SONY tape. Could it be owing to
mishandling/screwups by me? Any other experiences on exabyte
reliability.
