This is not that easy. In general, when dealing with NDMP, the NDMP server (usually the filer) controls the device.

The roor means that the drive cannot write a File Mark any more, which is a hard coded operation within the tape drive, just triggered by a SCSI command. If this is true, then the drive has a problem.
