Greetings,
I've got a very very odd & frustrating problem.  Basically, any attempt
to write to an Ecrix VXA-1 tape drive with the dd command fail.
The basic command that i'm issuing as root is:
dd if=whatever of=/dev/st0the output from the command is always:
0+1 records in
0+0 records out

I have no problems reading or writing from the tape drive when using
dump and/or tar, so its not a hardware problem.

Please let me know if you need more info.
Anyone with any input?

TIA,
Lonni
