Hello, I was attempting to set up amanda on a new system. The tape drive is an external Quantum SDLT 320.
mt reports it as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] mt -f /dev/nst0 status SCSI 2 tape drive: File number=1, block number=11983, partition=0. Tape block size 0 bytes. Density code 0x49 (Quantum SDLT320). Soft error count since last status=0 General status bits on (1010000): ONLINE IM_REP_EN The closest thing I have found in the faq for type is: http://amanda.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/fom?_highlightWords=quantum%20sdlt320&file=411 I have attempted to run amtapetype a number of times, I always receive the error below during Estimate phase 2: [EMAIL PROTECTED] amtapetype -f /dev/nst0 Writing 512 Mbyte compresseable data: 35 sec Estimate phase 2...amtapetype: could not write any data in this pass: short write [EMAIL PROTECTED] amtapetype -f /dev/nst0 -e 160g Writing 512 Mbyte compresseable data: 35 sec Estimate phase 2...amtapetype: could not write any data in this pass: short write The only similar error I can find is here: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg19904.html relating a bad SCSI cable. I have tried a new SCSI cable, and also a new terminator, but with no success. Any suggestions of what I might try next? -- -Keith [EMAIL PROTECTED]
