>Description:
MTIO fails to report the actual file and record position in
mtget.mt_fileno after executing the MTEOD command. Breaks bacula port.
>How-To-Repeat:
Rewind your DLTIV tape.
use this C program to inspect the tape IO status buffer of the /dev/nrsa0
(asuming you have only a single DLTIV tape drive) after using mt(1) to 'fsf'
and 'bsf' around from file to file on your tape. Then use mt(1) to 'eod' and
see where the status buffer says you are. You can 'fsf' and 'bsf' around, but
the status buffer reports file number -1 and block number -1 until you rewind.
