- It always works for me at 3.1.6. The tapes are created by running
- several rdump's in succession, sending the output to to
- <tape-host>:/dev/rmt0.1. I can "tctl fsf" to any dump and [r]restore it.

- My 8mm tape drive is set to a block size of 512 for mksysb
- compatibility (growl...). Could that make a difference?
