Hello All,

does anybody happen to know how to determine the
position on a DLT4000 tape. I would like to know
how many feet/meters of a tape are already written
to determine how many I have left. I have around
40-90 ufsdump files on one tape depending on the
time span to the 0dump. And yes it detects the end
of the tape and I can put a new one in and continue,
but I would rather change the tape before running
into that. It should run alone at night without
interaction.


Thanks,
Wolfgang
