Dear sunmanagers,

I have a requirement.

* I have taken backup using cpio onto a DLT tape.

* After each project directory tree, there is an EOF mark.

* I can move on to specific project using mt -f <dev> fsf <n>.

* Now I am asked to delete project data for a particular project.

* Is it possible to delete data from <n>th EOF to <n+1>th EOF.

That is the layout will be like

data1 EOF data2 EOF data3 EOF data4 EOF.....

Now can I delete data2 alone from the tape without affecting data3,data4
....

I will summarise.

regards

Sudheesh
