Interesting problem...



Hello, Linux Managers...  I've got a guru-level question for y'all.  Hope
you can help.

System:
Redhat 7.1, stock kernel 2.4.2-2
QLogic ISP1080 SCSI-2 controller
Cybernetics CY-8050 AIT-2 Tape drive (Sony SDX-500C hardware)

Problem:
Due to a fat-finger error on my part, I overwrote about the first meg worth
of data on the tape.  That tarball is now all that the drive 'sees' -- I'm
looking to ressurect all the data after that on the tape.  Using mt to go to
the end of the tape and then fsf 1 after it fails, on both Linux and the SGI
Irix boxes I have here.  I'm looking at hacking the st driver to ignore the
EOD marker, and just dump stuff off the end of the tape...  Any ideas before
I go traipsing around in kernel space?

Will summarize responses from list and my end results.
