    John,

    This error is harmless. It just means that we tried to lock
    the medium in and the drive doesn't support locking the media.
    Something like the following patch will eliminate it.

    When ignoring this warning, what is the actual problem in working
    with the tape drive?

    Try doing a backup/restore procedure:

    tar cvf /dev/ht0 /usr
    tar xvf /dev/ht0

    Are there any problem aside from the above error message?

    Gadi
