The tape: thing is not the issue here -- the code that writes the deprecation warning adds the prefix, and things go merriliy on. So the error is, in particular: > Can't open tape device /dev/nst0: Bad file descriptor > amlabel: Could not open device /dev/nst0. Which basically amounts to: "the kernel said there was an error." So the next step is to ask the kernel -- check in dmesg, access the device using dd or mt, and so on. Dustin -- Storage Software Engineer http://www.zmanda.com
