[ale] SCSI Tape: Linux <-> Sun

[Dan Newcombe]

I have a SCSI Exabyte drive on my Linux system at home and a SCSI 
Exabyte drive on my sun at work.  They both use the 8mm video tape 
format of tapes.

When I tar something onto a tape on the Sun and try to read it under 
Linux, I am told something along the lines of
	could not read /dev/st0:  read error or device full
However when I tar something up on my Linux box, the Sun can read it
just fine.

Any clues as to how I can get the Linux box to read what the Sun 
writes?  I'm just doing tar vc * on both boxes to archive and tar vt on 
both to list it.  

Thanks!!!
	-Dan
