so try to copy stuff to tape, again ...
find /home/ralph | buffer | tar zcvf /dev/st0 -T -
should sound nice and smooth .. no stopping and starting
- it should be a constant and steady whine

yeah.. but first get the tar command and buffer right...
than spend some dough on a better mb, but no guarantee to fix
the original problem
- get a new tape cleaner and new tape
- try a different tape drive
- make sure you have enough cpu hp
- make sure yu have enough memory
- ( top -i ) should be almost no load while writing to tapes
