As a follow-up to the above on 2.6.14-gentoo-r5, while trying to restore an XFS partition off of the tape (amrestore/dd doesn't oops on this kernel) my dmesg fills with the following:
st0: Error with sense data: <6>st0: Current: sense key=0xb ASC=0x4b ASCQ=0x0
the command I'm running specifically is: dd bs=32k skip=1 count=520531 conv=noerror,notrunc if=/dev/nst0 of=fs0restore
As you can see, my backups are not going as well as I had planned.
Thanks again.
