Having the same issue on my end. Paul did you ever figure out a solution?

Ashley-

Tried that on our systems here, we’re still running Snow Leopard, and I had to interchange the mnt command with Volumes. Everything looked fine until I double checked that the metadata file was on the index partition, but I came up with it being on the data partition instead. Here’s the sequence of events I took:

1. Loaded up the LTO into the tape drive.
2. mkltfs -d 0 -f -r size=200k/name=metadata.xml
3. Shows the data partition being written on b, while the index partition on a.
4. mkdir /Volumes/MM_LTFS_01
5. ltfs /Volumes/MM_LTFS_01
6. Copy the metadata file onto the drive.
7. xattr -p ltfs.partition /Volumes/MM_LTFS_01
8. Thats when the metadata file shows up as being on partition b instead of a.

Any ideas? Using a HP LTO5. Thanks!
