Re: [Networker] Reading/writing SAIT1 tapes on Linux that were written by solaris?

As I recall, there's an issue with the Linux ST/SG drivers in that it
wants to have a tape in the drive before it will allow you to send
most commands (all?) to the drive. That might be the issue. Try the
following:
- put in a tape
- mt -f /dev/st0 setblksize 0
- run tests
- eject tape
- put a new tape in
- run tests. Do they fail?
- mt setblksize again
and see what happens.
