ie
inserting a blank tape and doing:-
tar -cvf /dev/rmt/0n ./ex1
tar -cvf /dev/rmt/0n ./ex2
should create 2 tarfiles on the tape, one after the other.
Now consider the tape is ejected and later re-inserted, you want to
see whats in the second tar file.
mt -f /dev/rmt/0n fsf 1
fsf (forwrd skip) 1 will skip past the first tar file positioning the
tape at the start of the second tar file.
tar -tvf /dev/rmt/0n
I use this technique to store multiple ufsdumps on one tape.
