Hello,
OS RedHat 8.0
I am having trouble creating a backup to tape when I try to overwrite files on the tape. Example:
first I created an archive:
tar cvf /dev/nst0 filelist
next I append more files to the archive:
mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind
mt -f /dev/nst0 fsf 1
tar cvf /dev/nst0 filelist
so far, no problems. Now I want to overwrite the files I just appended with different files:
mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind
mt -f /dev/nst0 fsf 1
tar cvf /dev/nst0 filelist
when I do this I get the following errors:
Additional sense indicates Invalid command operation code
st0: Error with sense data: Info fld=0x3c, Current
st09:00: sense key Illegal Request
Additional sense indicates Write append error
st0: Error with sense data: Info fld=0x0, Current st09:00: sense key Illegal Request
Additional sense indicates Write append error
st0: Error on write filemark.
How do I overwrite those files without erasing the entire tape?
