I get 'unrecoverable errors' when using tar with /dev/rwt0. The kernel is configured correctly; the streamer is found during startup. Fix: I would be happy, if you could make the streamer work :-) How-To-Repeat: every command which uses the streamer. 'mt' won't use the streamer ( unknown tape ) tar gives me 'unrecoverable' errors or 'input/ourput-errors'. The drive is detected and tar sees if it is write-protected. tar tvf /dev/rwt0
State Changed From-To: open->closed Originator is no longer using FreeBSD, bug was in 2.0.5
