However, if I try to READ a file, and I've tried
this with dd and
Eric Smith's tapedump utility and whatnot, it always returns with
0 files read. It apparently sees the file marks as it will say its
reading file 1, file 2, etc., but it never actually dumps anything.
I've tried the multiple tapes at multiple densities and they are
tapes I've read before on another system.
Any idea what block size was used to write the tapes? Any relevant
messages in the kernel log (i.e. output of "dmesg")? Which /dev/device
are you using to access the drive? What's the dd command you're using?
WTF???
Sounds like _my_ life. :-)
