I have been struggling trying to get an ATAPI tape drive to work. I have found that the command tar -cf /dev/rwst0 <file> writes to the tape and the command tar -xf /dev/rwst0 <file> reads the file back and cmp says they are equal. The problem seems to be with dump. The command dump -0af /dev/rwst0 / writes to the tape, closes the drive, rewinds the tape and then tries to send a command to the drive. The man page for wst says that closing the drive will rewind the tape and unmount the drive. Is this a problem with dump or is there something I need to do?
