Hi,

I meanwhile tried to tar a file directly to the tapedev, rewind it and tried
to restore. What I got back was a only totally mixed part of what I send to 
tape?!

I changed the changer library emulation and control mode from "native" to
"Exabyte EZ17", reboot the server and retried. Now it was possible to label 
tapes.

Happy, that everything seams to work, I started a backup of one DLE (60 files,
9.1 GB). The report told me, it was successfully done. Then I tried to
restore. On my first try it start loading files from tape. But after 30
minutes of showing nothing (after amrecover restored the last file), I
canceled the operation. I retried a second time. And now after loading the
tape nothing happens. amrecover is showing since 40 minutes:

Extracting files using tape drive chg-zd-mtx on host nucleus.mr.lfmg.de.
Load tape KAS002 now
Continue [?/Y/n/s/t]? y



mt on a second console shows:
# mt -f /dev/nst0 status
mt: /dev/nst0: rmtopen failed: Device or resource busy.


The display on the autoloader shows that drive-1 is idle.
