[flexbackup-help] nonrewinding tape - freebsd 5.3

[Doug S. <do...@da...>]

I'm using the following /dev/nsa0 as the nonrewinding tape device under
FreeBSD 5.3 and when backing up using Flexbackup 1.2.1 as follows:

flexbackup -set all -type pax -noerase

I am prompted to insert tape after each set (6 sets altogether) although I
reply 'y' and stick to the same tape. Typing 'flexbackup -toc' produces a
listing showing six sets in the expected format.

When I tested flexbackup using the following:

flexbackup -set home -type pax -norewind -noerase ; \ 
flexbackup -set boot -type pax -norewind -noerase ; \ 
flexbackup -set etc -type pax -norewind -noerase ; \ 
flexbackup -set var -type pax -norewind -noerase ; \ 
flexbackup -set usr -type pax -norewind -noerase ; \ 
flexbackup -set os -type pax -noerase 

I am not prompted to insert tapes. However, I am getting six separate email
with a log attached to each. The device is defined as $device='/dev/nsa0' in
/etc/flexbackup.conf.

Changing $erase_tape_set_level_zero = 'true' to 'false' makes no difference.

I had Debian 3.0r1 on this machine in a previous life (using '/dev/nst0' as
the tape device) and when using flexbackup, did not receive such messages.
The Flexbackup documentation says for FreeBSD users to use /dev/nsa0 as the
nonrewinding device.

Suggestions?
