Is there any way I could test to make sure this is in fact what's happening?
Try writing several files to the tape, each in it's own operation,
and issue a 'mt -bsf' between each operation.
THEN try reading from the tape. with just successive 'read' operations.
*NO* 'mt' positioning

I recently purchased a FreeBSD-compatible SAS card
I recently purchased a FreeBSD-compatible SAS card (an Adaptec ASR
2045) and moved our backup server from Ubuntu to FreeBSD 8.2. I am
trying to set up the backup software, but am having problems with the
tape drive. Hopefully this is a "duh" type question, since I have a lot
more experience
