Power HP Tape Driver "Unknown Density"

Dear Experts and Advanced User,

I encounter a rare problem as mentioned above. I am not able to read the tape cartridge using the following command:

#dd if=/dev/rmt/0mnb ibs=16k | tar tvf -

It will prompt me with the message saying DD I/O error, broken pipe; everytime the above command is enter.

However, it still support

#mt offl
#mt rew

By using sam, under the tape drive section, the physical hardware is listed. But, when I go to device files, it shown as following:

/dev/rmt/0mb berkeley unkown density "TYPE_DEPENDENT1"

/dev/rmt/0mnb berkeley no rewind unkown density "TYPE_DEPENDENT"

The tape drive and tape cartridge BOTH are in good condition. Both items can be use in different machine with the same OS.

Appreciate if anyone could provide me some solution or useful tips?

Thank you

NAME
tcopy - copy a magnetic tape SYNOPSIS
tcopy source [destination] DESCRIPTION
The tcopy utility copies the magnetic tape mounted on the tape drive specified by the source argument. The only assumption made about the contents of a tape is that there are two tape marks at the end. When only a source drive is specified, tcopy scans the tape, and displays information about the sizes of records and tape files. If a des- tination is specified, tcopy makes a copies the source tape onto the destination tape, with blocking preserved. As it copies, tcopy pro- duces the same output as it does when only scanning a tape. The tcopy utility requires the use of Berkeley-compatible device names. For example, example% tcopy /dev/rmt/1b /dev/rmt/2b ATTRIBUTES
