st_san_safe kernel Parameter

[George Doller]

I enabled the st_san_safe kernel parameter to aleviate a problem I was having with omniback. My problem now is I have a product, Vistaplus from quest that rights a tar file and when it reads it it needs to be able to rewind between files. It use to work because I was able to use /dev/rmt/0m with the st_san_safe I must use /dev/rmt/0mn otherwise it doesn't work. Any ideas on using the device file without the no-rewind?

It has the problems with fbackup/frecover. I think it also effect with tar command.

It should be disable the st_san_safe and used no-rewind devices for your case
