- Should that be "cpio -ocv -O /dev/rmt/4" ??? The command you give
- doesn't give me any errors when executed (it's not an error to specify
- "-o" twice) but it _should_ still work...

- Yes, it definately could. I've seen real strangeness on a SCSI bus
- when it's not terminated properly. Sometimes it'll work, sometimes it
- won't. Sometimes the device that should be terminated isn't, but it
- works and the other devices don't!
-
- Definately check the termination.
