Re: erase the tape
i should use "tar rvf /dev/rmt/0m" instead of
"tar -cvf /dev/rmt/0m"
.....
for WHAT?
I think you fail to grasp the concepts involved here, especially when to use *rewind* devices -vs- *non-rewind* devices.

Re: erase the tape
>It should not read only a file
Each tar invocation is one archive. You put two on the tape.
>you mean it may rewrite the data on the tape?
Yes. Or you may have 20 archives on the tape, how do you know which one has what or how many file marks to skip to add the next?
This must all be done manually.
>I first run "tar cvf" overwrite the whole tape, so I can only see one file.
It only overwrites what's at the current tape position, to the end.
