It's worse. With blocksize 0 I get the data and the error, with bs=32k
I get just the error and 0 blocks read. This applies to ibs/obs=32k
and bs=32k. Amanda should set the block size anyway.
The drive is LVD on a LVD controller with an LVD cable and with an LVD
terminator, and I've read and written to it successfully. SCSI errors
should pop up all over the place while writing/reading with a
hardware/cabling fault. It's not the case, so I've to suspect
firmware.
