That won't work, sorry. Tapes don't have filesystems, and if you just
want to back up starting from /home/mdw* just do:
tar -cvf /dev/st0 /home/md*

You don't have to. It's done by the tape hardware itself, just like a
regular audio/video tape.

Fundamentally, one would not try to tar to /dev/st0/home/whatever.
The tape doesn't have a filesystem. to the OP - just use /dev/st0. You
aren't going to be able to access the tape as a disk, so don't try to
do so

Hi,
I figured out what it was. I had a quota file, but it was
empty and that was causing the "Invalid argument" error.
By the way, webmin has an easier way of enabling quotas. But
I think there is a bug in the "webmin method" because, it
was trying to turn-on quota twice in the same script file !
