Subject: Re: PROBLEM: restore file in tar from a magnetic tape

If I use the same tape and the same environment (OS 2.4.3.12 and CPU
ALPHA EV6) i have observed:

the system crash happens during rewind the tape; in fact if I
substitute /dev/st0
with /dev/nst0 and so i don't active the "close" system call in
rewind mode, 3 times on 3
tar file is restored.

Now I want see what happens in controller's (QLOGIC ISP1020) driver
during the close.

Someone has any ideas?

Thank you
