[...] (you do
know you have to retension the tape before you try
reading it, don't you?)
These are QIC tapes you're talking about right? I
forget how you're
supposed to retension them.
Wind them from one end to the other and back again.
"mt -f ... retension" works for me, but YMMV depending on your OS. I
suppose you could even do it by hand, but that would be...tedious.
