Appending files currently not working

expected behavior

  • Spool to the end of the last file
  • Start writing directory to tape

current behavior

  • Spooling for a while
  • giving error: SCSI 2 tape drive: File number=2, block number=-1, partition=0. Tape block size 0 bytes. Density code 0x58 (LTO-5). Soft error count since last status

Workaround

  • Check how many arcives you have
  • use the -f flag but add one to not override the last arcive

!!!Double check to avoid loosing data!!!
