- Does anyone know how to append a file on AIX to an 8mm tape that ends with EOT?
- (Note that AIX only writes EOT when writing to a device file whose
- rewind-on-close bit is set, i.e. /dev/rmt<n>, /dev/rmt<n>.2, /dev/rmt<n>.4,
- /dev/rmt<n>.6). I believe this is equivalent to overwriting any file starting
- anywhere not at BOT.
-
- Thanks for any assistance.
