I know how to use these two commands together to write data to a new tape but I can't seem to prevent overwritting when I next use the tcio/cpio combination on the same tape. The tape drive I am using is the HP 9144A tape drive using pre-formatted HP 1/4-inch tape cartridges. It is set up on an HP 9000 series 350 system running HP-UX 6.2. Thanks in advance for any help on this problem. Pierre Mathieu mathieu@ists.yorku.ca Institute for Space and Terrestrial Science mathieu@yunexus.yorku.ca Center for Research in Exp.
