Trying to restore(8) from a TDC4222 QIC tape drive on NetBSD/mac68k GENERIC
1.4 gives me
$@st0: 10240-byte tape record too big for 8192-byte user buffer
st0(ncrscsi0:5:0): Check Condition on CDB: 0x08 00 00 20 00 00
SENSE KEY: No Additional Sense
Incorrect Length Indicator Set
INFO FIELD: -2048
ASC/ASCQ: No Additional Sense Information
-- specifying the blocksize gives
# restore -i -b10k -v -f /dev/nrst0
restore: illegal blocksize -- 10k
#
What is broken here -- my understanding of the matter or 1.4's tape handling?
