Radu,
I used to have one of those tape drives and it kept doing the same thing to
me as well. Only difference was that I was using it with NT and BackupExec.
The only short term fix was to turn the drive on and off, then restart the
device drivers for BackupExec. After replacing the drive twice within 6
months, I returned it and bought a DDS based tape at about 1/2 the cost (for
both drive and media), and was much happier.

Subject: Tape stuck
Hi!
By two days I've got "Input/output" error everytime amanda tries to backup
or just check if proper tape is inserted. The same errors occurs if I try
to manually rewind or retension the tape.
I'm located in Romania and my server is in US, so I cannot figure out
what's happens. But a guy from copmany that colocate the server told me
the he was not able to eject the tape! So how to proceed in this
situation?
I know it's not directly related to Amanda, but I don't know anyother
place where to ask and I assume that there are peoples here that could
have an advice for me.
Thank you in advance,
Radu Filip
