Shouldn't trying to write to a write protected tape produce an error? tar cvf /dev/rsa0 /foo produced no errors using a locked QIC tape in my drive. It clearly didn't cause any activity on the tape either. cpio behaves the same way. The device in question is a sa0: <ARCHIVE VIPER 150 21531 -003> Removable Sequential Access SCSI-CCS device Thanks.
