hello there.
i have problems to write a filemark on my tape (tdc3820) 
with the ioctl command TC_WFM. i always get an I/O Error,
no matter if arg is 0 (flush) or 1 (write 1 mark) ...
erase, retens, rewind, seek_eof .. are no problem.

config: 
ix2.2.1, aha1542B, 2 Wren, tandberg tdc 3820 and generic scsi driver.

	robert.
