I'm trying to use an Exabyte VXA-1a tape drive to provide backup for RH9 system. tar seems to work when writing to the tape (no apparent errors and it seems to finish correctly) but when attempt is made to read the tape using tar -tvf /dev/st0 I get the following error message: tar: /dev/st0: Cannot read: Input/output error tar: At beginning of tape, quitting now tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now Any ideas please?
