I'm in trouble with a HP SureStore DAT40 (DDS-4) since I cannot write
compressed partition past 16GB instead of achieving the theoretical 20GB.
I guess it is because the drive is in hardware compression mode, but I do
not know how to explain it to the drive... :-)
I've read the man st and is does not look as clear as on Solaris...
gaudi:~# ls -al /dev/nst0*
crw-rw---- 1 root tape 9, 128 Mar 14 2002 /dev/nst0
crw-rw---- 1 root tape 9, 224 Mar 14 2002 /dev/nst0a
crw-rw---- 1 root tape 9, 160 Mar 14 2002 /dev/nst0l
crw-rw---- 1 root tape 9, 192 Mar 14 2002 /dev/nst0m
I've tried each /dev/nst0* without success :
gaudi:~# tapetype -f /dev/nst0
wrote 524508 32Kb blocks in 1604 files in 9324 seconds (short write)
wrote 505626 32Kb blocks in 3102 files in 11965 seconds (short write)
define tapetype unknown-tapetype {
comment "just produced by tapetype program"
length 17021 mbytes
filemark 403 kbytes
speed 1576 kps
}
gaudi:~# tapetype -f /dev/nst0a
tapetype: could not rewind /dev/nst0a: No such device or address
gaudi:~# tapetype -f /dev/nst0l
tapetype: could not rewind /dev/nst0l: No such device or address
gaudi:~# tapetype -f /dev/nst0m
tapetype: could not rewind /dev/nst0m: No such device or address
Hmmm... Strange...
Any help in the audience ? :-)
Thank you,
