To use the CTape with anything other than r/wbak, you must first access the
raw device with:
mt -f /dev/(tapedev) rewind
Then your tar/cpio commands to your tape device will work.
rct8 is the device I used. I believe other tape devices will cooperate
also.
This may also solve the gentleman's problem with catf too, but I haven't had
the chance to try it out.
