    Hi, I am running RH FC3, and when ever I do a tape backup I get this error (always the same place).

    The cpio version is: GNU cpio version 2.5
    The Linux version info is:
    Linux xxxxx 2.6.9-1.724_FC3smp #1 SMP Sun Jan 2 15:56:53 EST 2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

    I am using /dev/st0 as the output device and it is backup up to an AIT tape drive. I had no trouble restore over 60GB of data to
    this server, when I transferred RH8 to FC3.

    Any help would be appreciated.
    Regards
    Enrico
