Hello,
We were unsuccessfully trying to use amanda on OpenBSD 2.6/2.7. Taper
module _always_ hanged writing to tape the first data block. Wim Vandeputte
<wvdputte@kd85.com> and ian@darwinsys.com have reported same behavior.
Win noticed that amanda stop working after upgrading OpenBSD from 2.4/2.5 to
2.6. It seems to to me that there is a problem in the write() system call
when writing to a SCSI tape device, taper stick on that function.

Please let me now if you are using amanda on 2.6/2.7 or 2.8 OpenBSD releases.
