Greetings;

I'm trying to recover some stuff that yum killed last night, but in 
running amrecover, I believe I am getting the equ of an EOT message 
from the attempt to extract.

The man page for ammt isn't at all clear about how one goes about 
'rewinding' a virtual tape.  Can somebody clue me in?

Never mind, I used the old trusted dd and got it all.

BUT, amrecover needs to be able to rewind the "tape" after you've done 
a 'settape'.  Somehow that functionality seems to be missing, or at 
least well hidden.

Cheers, Gene
