Yes, but it didn't complain about this. This particular HP is an ancient DDS-1 DAT drive, I believe. I don't know why it behaved the way it did, and w/o more kernel messages, can't say more. I asked about whether it was in 'fixed' as opposed to 'variable' mode because filemarks are handled internally slightly differently- but still, doesn't seem like this could be anything but bum h/w.
