Thanks to Mandell Degerness, Chris Ruhnke, Oisin McGuinness, Dr. Blinn, and
John J. Francini.

Command "mt -f /devices/ntape/tape-id fsf seod" skips all savesets and
positions toe the end of the last saveset. By following Dr. Blinn's
recommendation, I issued /usr/field/tapex -m to verify the contents.

Thanks again, and have a nice day.

My original question:
> I do not know the number of savesets which have already been on
> the tape, how do I determine the # of savesets to skip? Does mt fsf has an
> option to skip all savesets and positions to the end of the last saveset?
