Its a new new and (i think) a real good tape.
I tried to label it:
bash-3.00$ amlabel full-sonntag DailySet1001
rewinding, reading label, reading label: Input/output error
rewinding, writing label DailySet1001, checking label, done.
My config:
tapedev "/dev/nst0
tapetype DLT320
define tapetype DLT320 {
comment "DLT 320"
length 300000 mbytes
filemark 28 kbytes
speed 2349 kps
}

Betreff: Re: AW: AW: Question: does this DLT Drive work?
Yes it should. If send mine a rewind command I can hear it. Besides
rewind, have tried any other commands, like try to make it seek forward
using the fsf option in mt?
Is this a new or used tape drive? Is it known to be good?
