hi, i have a problem with my scsi tape (HP C1537A DDS3):
the scsi ids are set as follows: Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: IBM Model: DNES-318350Y Rev: SA30 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 03 Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 01 Lun: 00 Vendor: IBM Model: DNES-318350Y Rev: SA30 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 03 Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 03 Lun: 00 Vendor: HP Model: C1537A Rev: L907 Type: Sequential-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 inetmain:/etc/afbackup# and mt -f /dev/nst0 stat reports drive type = Generic SCSI-2 tape drive status = 620756992 sense key error = 0 residue count = 0 file number = 54 block number = 0 Tape block size 0 bytes. Density code 0x25 (unknown). Soft error count since last status=0 General status bits on (89010000): EOF EOD ONLINE IM_REP_EN but when i start afbackup the server always reports: mt: /dev/nst0: Input/output error but it dows increase the file nr and if i kill it (i know i never should but as i can't be shure the backup is written...) i see eg drive type = Generic SCSI-2 tape drive status = 620756992 sense key error = 0 residue count = 0 file number = 54 block number = 0 Tape block size 0 bytes. Density code 0x25 (unknown). Soft error count since last status=0 General status bits on (89010000): EOF EOD ONLINE IM_REP_EN and mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind works as well. what problem could this be? before changing to the DDS 3 tape drive the DDS 2 drive worked fine. any ideas? tia martin -- GnuPG 1024D/3E8DCCC0 30DC 1D28 1D79 32F5 5E67 3ABB 28EE B35A 3E8D CCC0 work: factline Krisper Fabro Harnoncourt OEG (www.factline.com)
