[SUMMARY] ufsrestore error

My problem had been not being able to restore a file system dumped over 2
tapes, using 'ufsrestore if'

As most people suggested, 'ufsrestore rf' worked.

I had a problem after first tape was finished, but my predecessor told me
'mt ... offline' would work while ufsrestore is asking for the second
volume, so I moved to the second tape and answered yes, and it
worked. Just in case.

Somehow 'ufsrestore Rf' did not work.

Thanks to

  Unless you know which volume your files ... start with the last volume..
  Specify next volume #:
 
Whatever number I give here, it returns to
 
  Read error ...

No matter what I try I am stuck in the same cycle.
