I have tried many iterations of btape to get a simplified single tape test to
work with a VXA-2 Exabyte drive in a Storageloader. This issue has been
submitted to the user list without resolution. I have tried many variations
of a Device resource witout success. The attempts always result in "Backspace
file at EOT failed". The tail of the output:

My current Device resource is:
Device {
Name = "Exabyte_VXA-2"
# btape cap command:
#EOF BSR BSF FSR FSF !FASTFSF !BSFATEOM !EOM REM !RACCESS !AUTOMOUNT !LABEL
!ANONVOLS ALWAYSOPEN MTIOCGET
Media Type = "VXA-2"
Archive Device = /dev/nst0
Device Type = Tape
Autochanger = yes # if yes, must specify Autochanger resource
Alert Command = "/bin/sh -c '/usr/sbin/tapeinfo -f %c | grep TapeAlert |
cat'" # cat returns 0 to prevent error return code from grep
Maximum Changer Wait = 30 minutes
Maximum Rewind Wait = 20 minutes
Maximum Open Wait = 25 minutes
RemovableMedia = yes
AlwaysOpen = yes # default = yes
Random Access = no # no for tapes
Hardware End of Medium = no # default = yes??
BSF at EOM = yes # docs says default is No but errors are
produced: "Error: Backspace file at EOT failed"
# BSF at EOM = no # docs says default is No but errors are
produced: "Error: Backspace file at EOT failed"
# TWO EOF = yes # default = No
TWO EOF = no # default = No
Forward Space Record = yes # default = yes
Forward Space File = yes # default = yes
Backward Space Record = yes # default = yes
# Backward Space Record = no # default = yes
Backward Space File = yes # default = yes
# Backward Space File = no # default = yes
Fast Forward Space File = no # default = yes
Use MTIOCGET = yes # default = yes
Offline On Unmount = no # default = no
#AutomaticMount = yes
Auto Select = yes # default = yes
}
The tape drive itself has been swapped out without any change in results.
If anyone can shed some light on this it would be much appreciated.
