We just installed the LTO tape driver to Pseries computer (AIX 4.3.3 and
Atape 5.44). It worked correctly with "tar" command. We tried to use it
with InformiX backup command "tbunload/tbload" have problem:

the "tbunload" command is

  $ tbunload
Usage: tbunload [-l] [-t <tape device>] [-b < kilobytes block size>] [-s
<kilobytes tape size>] <database>[:[<owner>.]<table>]

If I use

tbunload -b 32768 -s 16000000 -t /dev/rmt1 XXXX (work good with DLT tape)

I got error: 22

if I use

tbunload -t /dev/rmt1 XXXX

No error, BUT "tbload" got error

   "tape is out of sequence. Experting tape number 1".

The LTO (3580) tape drive is setup:

block size: 0

Doe anyone know why it happen?

Thanks.
