Greetings,

We are attempting to recover data from a tape using scanner:

  scanner -S 1008852737 /dev/rmt/2ubn -x uasm -rv -i Y
    scanner: scanning dlt7000 tape BK0350 on /dev/rmt/2ubn
    scanner: continuation of data in nsrscan.1008852737.0005
    scanner: ssid 1008852737: SYNCHRONIZED at 12 GB, 3975 file(s)
    scanner: write failed, Bad file number

The scanner seems to hit a bad file on tape and then gives up.
It writes a 2GB file with a name like 'nsrscan.1008852737.0001'.
We are able to extract files from the nsrscan file with:
  uasm -rv -i Y < nsrscan.1008852737.001

Is this a large file size issue in scanner?
If so does anyone know of a workaround?
Without a file index, how would one get the rest of the files from the tape?

Thanks for any help,
Drew.
