[SNIP]
I have tried using ammt instead of mt with a tar backup and everything
appeared to function just fine. Text below
[root]# ammt -d -f /dev/nst0 status
debug mode!
syntax: eof -> e
syntax: weof -> w
syntax: fsf -> f
syntax: asf -> a
syntax: bsf -> b
syntax: rewind -> rewi
syntax: offline -> o
syntax: rewoffl -> rewo
syntax: status -> s
tapename is "/dev/nst0"
calling tape_open("/dev/nst0",0)
processing status(1)
calling tapefd_status()
/dev/nst0 status: ONLINE BOT
[root]# ammt -d -f /dev/nst0 rewind
debug mode!
syntax: eof -> e
syntax: weof -> w
syntax: fsf -> f
syntax: asf -> a
syntax: bsf -> b
syntax: rewind -> rewi
syntax: offline -> o
syntax: rewoffl -> rewo
syntax: status -> s
tapename is "/dev/nst0"
calling tape_open("/dev/nst0",0)
processing rewind(1)
[root]# tar -cf /dev/nst0 /mhome/test/
tar: Removing leading `/' from member names
[root]# ammt -d -f /dev/nst0 rewind

calling tape_open("/dev/nst0",0)
processing rewind(1)
