Quicky: I wrote some 4G 4mm tapes (HP SureStore Dat8 4mm) on my Red Hat 6.1 box using tar, and sent them to a colleague who uses Compaq Tru64 (4.0F) with a TLZ07 4MM tape drive. He cant read the tapes. He claims to get tape errors on read. I suggested issuing a 'setblk -f /dev/rmt0h setblk 0', but he ignored this advice saying that tar on Tru64 'automatically determines tape blocksize'. I suspect tar is irrelevant, and that mt is still needed, but am not sure. Does anybody else out there have any experience reading Linux tar tapes on Tru64?
