Hi

I am using a backup tape witch at the moment runs under suselinux 7.3. Now 
I am migrating to openbsd and try to read my data witch are written under 
linux from a tape that runs under openbsd 3.6.

The problem is: there is only a small part of what I backuped, and during 
the read-process tar says: 

   "missing header for file XX -search for header"

I used the tape before under freeBSD 4.11 (driver: sa0) and never 
encountered that problem.

I suspect that st only rekognises dds3 tapes. If so, what can I do?

The tape hardware is hp surestore dat dds4

Configuration under openbsd:

       |-siop0
       |  \-scsibus1
       |     \-st0

(dmassage -t)

mt status says:

mt -f /dev/st0 status
SCSI tape drive, residual=0
ds=3<Mounted>
er=0
blocksize: 0 (0, 0, 0, 0)
density: 38 (0, 0, 0, 0)

thanks in advance, Erwin
