Into tape i have tar files the first one is /casa/immobili , the second one is /casa/giardini by shell i put command :
1) tar -xvf /dev/rmt0
2) mt -f /dev/rmt0 rewind
3) mt -f /dev/rmt0 fsf 1
4) tar -xvf /dev/rmt0

Step 3) mt -f /dev/rmt0n fsf 1
You need the n for no-rewind - if you give it a command, it automatically rewinds (which is why you keep getting the first file)
