If you haven't done a tape operation that rewinds the tape between the "tar -cvf" and the "tar -tvf", then the tape will be positioned after the end of your tape archive. You can either use the /dev/rst0 device to automatically rewind the tape after the operation, or you can rewind the tape with the command "mt -f /dev/rst0 rewind". Note that even a "mt -f /dev/rst0 status" should rewind the tape. Dan Eischen deischen@iworks.InterWorks.org
