I had a VERY IMPORTANT "bar file" stored in two tapes (DC6150). Someone wrote a very little tar file at the beginning of the first tape. We are running SunOS 4.1 on a SUN/470. Now I can recover the second tape, but I can only read the tiny silly file from the first one. Is it possible to read after the EOM somehow? (wait for synchronization and read again). It seems to me that the SunOS 4.1 driver for for /dev/rst0 cannot do it. (I wrote a C program using mtio(4), read(2V) but it cannot help). I stopped the tape in the middle of a retension and tried to read from there but I could not cheat the driver. Can someone help me please? Answer to me by mail. I will summarize the answers and post them. Thank you very much, Pedro Lopez Ph. +34 1 534 30 04 Grupo de Mecanica del Vuelo, S.A.
