SGI tapes



hi, 

I have 4mm DAT tape (hp 1537, DDS3 12/24 GB) which works fine.
lately I tried to read a 120m tape made on an SGI machine,
but I cant read it.

form the man who created the tape I know that the block size is 32 (16k)
when I specified block size of 32 or not specified block size the read
is very slow (30k/sec !!) , and it failed after about 200 mb.
when I specified a block size of 256 the read at the normal speed (~
600k/sec) but again ir failed but after about 1.2 GB.
the first file is ~1.5 GB so I cant know if any file was OK.

Any adeas ?

Alon.
