I installed Buster alpha5 the other day, and the LTO5 tape drive quit working, intermittently. Troubleshooting a tape drive is *slow*. It took 3 or 4 days of man pages, docs, surfing, rebooting, and some luck to discover that amanda wants a 32768 block size and tar wants 512. Settable with mt-st, when there's a tape in the drive. What is going on with the Debian management? Debian's always been solid as a rock (stable has, anyway). That tape config, the UUIDs, the s.*d word, etc. They're buggy and/or badly thought out -- their interfaces to us mortals are terrible. -- Glenn English
