    Hello Gurus,,

    I have Sun-Fire-880 system. I also have HP DDS-4 DAT (Sun) tape drive
    connected to it. My problem is I couldn't able to write on it. I am
    executing the following command.

    # tar cvf /dev/rmt/0 /etc/passwd
    tar: permission denied.

    And the output of #mt stat is

    HP DDS-4 DAT (Sun) tape drive:
        sense key(0x7)= Write Protected residual= 0 retries= 0
        file no= 0 block no= 0

    Although , it was write protected. But now i have removed the write
    protection. But to my surprise, it should give me an error of " write
    protection error" and it is giving me of " permission denied".

    Any help is appreciated.

    Regards
    Amit Gupta
