3-rd party 8mm Drives

[Hemant Shah]

	We are using Exabyte 8mm tape drive on our RS6000, IBM
 does not support any 3rd party 8mm drives. Right now we are testing beta 
version of the driver supplied by IBM they are not yet officially supporting the
driver. It seems to be working fine but when we try to restore the disk, it 
screws up inodes. We have to run fsck, and varyonvg (??) commands and then 
everything is back to normal.
