desperate - weird error during ontape restore

Ugh. Trying to restore an ontape backup and getting the following error. ---start error info Read/Write End Of Medium enabled: blocks = 99542 Please mount tape 2 on /dev/rmt0 and press Return to continue ... <we mount the tape and press enter> Read/Write End Of Medium enabled: missing blocks, expect 99544, processed 99542. Physical restore failed - function buc_fe.c : Archive API processing failed at l ine 791 for msgtype failed code -1 errno 0 ---end error info I have determined that its not a bad tape set and the tapes are in the correct order. I have also tried another set of tapes just in case! Relevant onconfig settings: TAPEDEV /dev/rmt0 TAPEBLK 256 # Tape block size (Kbytes) TAPESIZE 0 # should use entire tape

Strange one. Can you dd the tapes, or second tape, out onto disk and try and restore from that?
