I'm not 100% sure its writing, but when I try to write something and
then use "mt -f /dev/sa0 status" I got correct status of writen files so
I can just assume that everything is OK.
Tape is fine I was using it in work in DDS2 tape drive. I have some
problem with brand new tapes (DDS2 and DDS3)
Serials are not problem. I have turned them off temporarily.
Today I will try to read tape recorded on my machine im my work.

How do you know it's actually writing? Can you remove the tape and
put it in another DDS3 drive and see your files?
Are you sure your using a DDS125 tape?
Do you regularly use a cleaning cartridge on this drive?
I would also suggest you try FreeBSD 4.11 on this system - looks
like your serial ports aren't working, either.

Subject: DDS Tape problems
Hi,
I have problem with my DDS-3 type drive. I'm able to write on
it but not
read data back. If I try to read them I get card dump and tape drive
hangs up. I have tried to upgrade firmware but problem remains. Does
somebody have experience with this ?
My specs :
FreeBSD 5.2.1, generic kernel, x86 (P3), SCSI card is Adaptec AHA2940
and tape drive Python 04106.
I'm attaching dmesg output.
Thanks for any advice....
Pavel Duda
