Hi all,

I have a wonderful script I used on SCO which I have modified a bit for
Linux but have this problem with the device /dev/nst0.
To cut it short this is what I do for an example:

cd /home/georgev
find . -mount -depth -print | cpio -ocvB -O /dev/nst0
cd /home/flintstone
find . -mount -depth -print | cpio -ocvB -O /dev/nst0

This all works fine but when I try to restore from it, it gets this error
and ejects the tape.
"Found end of tape.  To continue, type device/file name when ready."

Sometimes it happens immediately when trying to restore/verify the tape
after a backup and other times it happens after the first volumn
"/home/georgev" has finished and starts the /home/flinstone volumn that it
happens.

I have tried sleeping abit for the tape drive to settle and have no idea
what to try next... maybe reset something??

help!?

thanks,
George Vieira
