I have a question regarding QIC drives with FreeBSD 2.1.5.
I have some Cartridges here with 120 MB (15 tracks) and 150 MB (18 tracks).
Problem is, these cartidges are mixed up. So I is unusable for a backup,
where a script always wants to use the same device name.....
So what can be done to reformat QIC-120 to QIC-150? Must I degauss
the tape completely? (If yes: How can it be done?)
The "standard method"
mt rewind
mt fsf 1
mt fsf 1
mt rewoffl
(reload tape)
does NOT work.
I have a very old Tandberg TDC3600 drive.
