Question bru-ing again!!

[Sissi Tchehrazi]

	Can someone explain this phenomenon to me please? 

	
		mt fsf (advances my 8mm tape one file)

			at this point I will like to write a new file
	
		bru -cvf /dev/nrtape (8mm is linked to tape size=0K ..)
				result:
		bru: Warrning Input/Output Error
		bru: load volume 1 and enter ....

	but if at this point I do a: 

		mt feom (which is not what I really want) 

				then

		bru -cvf /dev/nrtape works fine!!!

	Why this behavior, and how can I simply advance a file and write a
	new file (without going to EOD) to my 8mm tape using bru?

	Thanks in advance.
