No fixing were possible. (fsck error code: 11) However it was possible to read TAPE. There were 2 timeouts on Tapedrive. System crashed twice in the same order - tar cvp . -> game over. if somebody experienced the same - plese, let me know, I do want to fix this problem, and yet - I'm afraid to touch the tape drive at all... anyway, freebsd roolz ;) wbw/sergey
