Subject:   Can't write tape with -current kernel
Message-ID:  <13831.49269.578934.271721@moran.grauel.com>

Apparently, the system always thinks it's at the beginning of the tape.  I
can read tapes just fine, however.

Here are the vitals, followed by the results of trying to backup /var with
both tar and dump.

The kernel was fresh this morning (about 8AM EST).  moran is a 200MH PPro
with 64MB RAM.  softupdate enabled on all partitions.

I tried "mt erase" also; it ran for a while (the tape drive was active the
whole time) and didn't complain about anything, but I still couldn't write
the tape.
