Re: Woohoo got the tape verify working ...

Perhaps an even simpler change to the code that requests the writing of the
header blocks would allow the <=0 test to be re-instated.

I'm working on the basis that the length field is only used for file related
headers (those followed by file data).

What if any problem would be caused if the "non-file-related" headers
specified a length of 1?  So long as no-one actually tried to use it ...

Hello David,

First of all , you need to know that I'm the maintainer of MondoRescue, not
the original author. While I've modified a lot the code since 2005 when I
took over the maintenance, I'm still not aware of all the code. In
particular, I've not written the tape management part (except OBDR support).
So sometimes, I have no much more clue than yourself ! You'll have to bear
with this :-)

So now, looking at your findings, I'm happy that you found a way to solve
your issue. But we need to investigate more before being able to adopt your
solution I think.

First svn blame helps seeing where it comes from: (enlarge your window to
see that correctly)
