Can you please send me the output of this command? Here is a typical output: Exabyte EXB-8200 8mm tape drive: sense key(0x0)= no sense residual= 0 retries= 0 file no= 3 block no= 0 It never puts anything other than '0' for residual and retries, but in much older versions of SunOS (4.0.x, I think) it did. What I'd like is to be able to do is use something like this to confirm which file mark the tape is at. David
