This is not an accusation, only an observation. You might
want to tell your network administrator. Sombody at your
site may be hacking systems.
SCSI tape problems or your kind are usually caused by a different
tape compression being used during record and playback. You should
try to use `mt` to set the compression to something you like
before you record, and the same compression when you play back
the tape.
You can use `cat` and `od` to read/write from a tape before you
waste a lot file time with `tar`. You can even do:
ls >/dev/tape
takes a lot of time..
cat /dev/tape # Read back.
Blocking/deblocking is done in the driver so you can treat it as
a "slow-to-start" FIFO.
