[daip] question on error message

[Patrick Palmer]

Hi,

I am trying to backup a lot of stuff to exabyte tape.

I got the error after writing one file successfully, on the second (tiny) file:

oskar.> FITTP1: Task FITTP  (release of 31DEC06) begins
oskar.> FITTP1: Writing to tape drive number   1
oskar.> FITTP1: Writing at current tape position
oskar.> FITTP1: Writing beginning-of-write EOFs
oskar.> FITTP1: ZTAPE: LUN128 IO ERROR AT   1 OP OF BEGW SYS ERR CODE 0005
oskar.> FITTP1: ZERROR: IN ZTAP2 ERRNO = 5 (I/O error)
oskar.> FITTP1: ERROR     3 BEGINNING WRITES WITH EOFS
oskar.> FITTP1: Purports to die of UNNATURAL causes

Then when I rewound the tape and tried again with DOEOT=1
oskar.> FITTP1: Task FITTP  (release of 31DEC06) begins
oskar.> FITTP1: Writing to tape drive number   1
oskar.> FITTP1: Advancing tape to end-of-information
oskar.> FITTP1: ZTAPE: LUN128 BEG.TAPE AT   1 OP OF AEOI SYS ERR CODE 0000
oskar.> FITTP1: Purports to die of UNNATURAL causes

What do these mean?
