Hi all.

To this day I still can't get the following to work from a cron job:

mt -f /dev/st0 setblk 32768 && tar -cSPf /dev/st0 -b 64 /store/bkup && mt -f
/dev/st0 rewoffl

It returns the following error:
tar: /dev/st0: Wrote only 0 of 32768 bytes
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

The job runs without complaining on a root konsole. If anyone can help sort
this out once and for all I *really* will be chuffed.

TIA
Best regards,
Darryl
