I upgraded our Networker server from 7.2.2 to 7.4.1 yesterday and 
generally it's been going pretty well. One question though. We a tape 
becomes full we are getting a:

38758 01/04/08 05:09:55 PM  2 0 0 1 16562 0 regulus nsrd media warning:
/dev/rmt/5cbn writing: Invalid argument, at file 312 record 9603 
42506 01/04/08 05:09:55 PM  2 0 0 1 16562 0 regulus nsrd media notice:
LTO Ultrium-2 tape 000266 on /dev/rmt/5cbn is full 
42506 01/04/08 05:09:55 PM  2 0 0 1 16562 0 regulus nsrd media notice:
LTO Ultrium-2 tape 000266 used 559 GB of 190 GB capacity 

There is no indication that Legato is reading Physical EOT, rather it's 
getting a write error, marking it as EOT and moving to the next tape. 
Is there some reason it's doing this instead of finding the real EOT?
We are running Networker 7.4.1 on a Sun Sparc V480 running Solaris 9. 
I have a default st.conf since the LTO-2 is supported in the kernel. 
I've never seen this issue with 7.2.
