>I've bought a new tape drive (Tandberg SLR 5) and updated my System

>Now I have problems to write more then one archive (tar, pax or dump)
>to this tape.
>
>The tape streamer writes two eof marks after the end of the
>archive. Only if I use tar with the -i switch the tape show the
>correct archive.

>If I use restore on the second archiv I do:

>mt rewind
>mt -f /dev/ntape fsf 1
>restore -if /dev/ntape # Nothing happends
>restore -if /dev/ntape # Again, and now it works.

>Is it possible to configure the System that the Streamer doesnt write
>too many eof marks?

>Thanks
