The "update status" from "error" to "append" failed. Took the tapes
out of the library, checked physically and put it back in the slots,
updated the slots and still not working. Tried the CLI "mt -f
/dev/nstX eod" command on both tapes from each drive but that also
failed with "input output error" message. In the process of erasing
one tape since the data there is not important. The question is, how
do I retrieve data from the other tape? Thanks.
