I have an older DAT drive by Wangtek, model 6130 FS. I started out with my system running FreeBSD 1.1. The controller is an Adaptec 1742. I upgraded to FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 ... no problem. When I upgraded to FreeBSD 2.0.5 ... problem. I had previously been using tar with a block size of 128k. This did not work under 2.0.5. It does work with block sizes under 64k. Some change took place where it now thinks it is using variable length blocks. Other than that it has worked fine.
