dump to /dev/rst0 vs /dev/rst0n

[Xavier <xavier_(_at_)_rootshell_(_dot_)_be>]

Hi,

I'm busy to test a backup procedure on a DDS tape device (Sony, SDT-9000) connected to a BT-948 SCSI card 

I've different behavious depending on the device used:
(My / uses 1002232 blocks):

'dump -0auf /dev/rst0' works but:
'dump -0auf /dev/rst0n' asks for a second tape!?

Any idea why EOF is reached with a "norewind" device?
