Description Vladimir Borisov 2001-06-29 09:00:12 UTC 
The first command "tar -c <file>" - OK.
The second and few next "tar -r <file>" may be OK, if files are small.
If files are big (~1Mb) the second command "tar -r <file>" return the following mistake:
============
(sa0:sym0:0:2:0): WRITE(06). CDB: a 0 0 28 0 0
(sa0:sym0:0:2:0): ILLEGAL REQUEST asc:50,0
(sa0:sym0:0:2:0): Write append error.
tar: can't write to /dev/rsa0 : Invalid argument
============
If you know, how to troubleshoot this problem - let me know please.

Looks like a bug in the SCSI code.

The man page for tar (1) explicitly states:
 
-r
--append    ...Does not work on Quarter Inch tapes.

Matthew replied that this is documented behaviour, does this 
satisfy your question?
