I can use tar with the tape but dump fails. I used the command dump -0af /dev/rwst0 / After dump writes to the tape I get dump: Closing /dev/rwst0 wst0: 29624320d total bytes transferred atapi1.1: controller not ready, status=c0,error=c0 atapi1.1: controller not ready for command wst0: Sense media type failed At this point the system hangs and I must reboot it.
