I'm having an issue now with a TSZ07 9-track tape drive and 5.1a.
It was working fine on 4.0f, but now it's having problems since the ugprade.
I can get it to answer mt commands like rewind and status, but if I
try to tar a file out to it, it hangs for a long time (several minutes) and
comes back to a prompt. I can then get it to respond to the rewind command,
but if I try to tar it back, tar says that it doesn't look like a tar
archive.
I have tried device files tape0c, tape0, tape0_d1, etc, and it
doesn't make any difference. I also checked and found that the ddr entry
was the same as the one for 4.0f. I tried recompiling the ddr base and it
made no difference.
I have no physical access to this device, just an operator on the
phone.
Maybe these outputs will help:

And the ddr entry:

Any ideas?
