tar backup on tape doesn't work

[Budiono <oensatu@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,
I 'm just install a scsi card BusLogic BT-958 and HP DAT 40, on my 
fedora core 6 system. I usually backup my system, using tar.
My problem is backup doesn't running well.

And this is my backup script:
#tar -b 1024 -cvf /dev/st0 /usr/local/src/my_home/yahoomail | bzip2 -9 > 
/var/log/Backup.log.bz2

Backup only run a while, and archive some files in directory and then stop.

[root@mis-s155 ~]# tar -b 1024 -cvf /dev/st0 
/usr/local/src/my_home/yahoomail | bzip2 -9 > /var/tmp/Backup.log.bz2
tar: Removing leading `/' from member names
tar: /dev/st0: Cannot write: Device or resource busy
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now



But when I put out -b parameter on tar.  It run a while and not backup 
directory at all

The backup script I used was running well when I'm using redhat 9.0 system.
I attach some message from my system
