I had a partition on my FreeBSD machine get messed up, and since I had a tape backup, I decided to just reinstall everything on the machine (using 4.1 freebsd instead of 4.0). Anyways, I reformatted the drive, and installed 4.1. No problems. I installed BRU 16.0 (since that was the software which did the backing up to the tape), no problems I was able to get a bunch of stuff off the tape, rebooted, and ever since the tape drive is reporting that the tape is empty. I get the message below when trying to MT the tape. My system is 4.1 BSD, a Sony SDT9000 (12/24 gig tape drive?) which is on my scsi card. I was referencing that as rsa0. Any ideas on what's going on would be great! Oct 23 17:09:49 freebsd /kernel: (sa0:ahc0:0:0:0): READ(06).
