ide-tape: ht0: I/O error, pc = 1e, key = 5, asc = 20, ascq = 0
First get the devicename, e.g. from /var/log/boot.msg:
<4>hda: IBM-DTLA-307030, ATA DISK drive <4>hdb: HP COLORADO 8GB, ATAPI TAPE drive <4>hdc: _NEC DV-5700A, ATAPI CDROM driveNow click on the configuration-icon in the KDE-programbar and start YaST1. Choose "System administration" -> "Kernel- and boot configuration" -> "LILO configuration"
At "Append-line for hardware parameter" add
hdX=ide-scsiwhereas X has to be the devicename of the Colorado. If there is already an entry, simply append your entry with a single space as separator. Save and exit YaST.
Now open with your editor the file:
/sbin/init.d/boot.localand append the line:
/sbin/modprobe ide-scsiSo the file looks like:

tar cvzf /dev/nst0 /home/tuxsaves the home-directory of user "tux"
mt -f /dev/nst0 rewindrewinds the tape, and
tar xvzf /dev/nst0restores the saved directory. Of course the programs "dump" and "restore" will do the same ;-)
