Am not able to append to an archive on tape. Using the command:
tar cvf /dev/st0 file1

writes the file1 to the tape.  It can be seen using the command:
tar tvf /dev/st0

Using the command:
tar  rvf /dev/st0 file2
seems to do something, file2 pops up on screen but
tar tvf /dev/st0
shows that only file1 is on the tape.

file2 does not seem to be written on /dev/st0

Thanks for any help.

You should use the non-rewinding device nst0 if you want to add
to the tape.
