Subject:   tar, st0 tape driver problem...
Message-ID:  <v01510101ae426ba3c87c@[198.6.114.70]>

I've been having an annoying little problem using tar and the st
driver when doing backups. This problem only occurs after a
system reboot. After reboot, if I issue any tar command, say
tar -tv /dev/rst0, I get the following error:

        st0: bad request, must be between 0 and 0

If I issue the same tar command immediately after this error,
tar works and completes without an error. It works without
error from this point on, until next reboot.

What is it that I must do to initialize st to keep this from
happening?

Bob
