[expert] wierd probs with tape drive
Hey, I am trying to recover files off of a tape - I did a backup last night, and the machine hung at the end of the backup. So I rebooted, and now (with another tape) am trying to bring in some files I had saved previously - these had reading troubles before. I usually so far haven't had issues with the tape drive, which is an HP Surestore DAT - SCSI using an Adaptec 2910C controller. Now tar is coming back with /dev/st0: cannot allocate memory. I'm using Cooker, with: Linux m206-157.dsl.tsoft.com 2.4.21-0.1mdk #1 Wed May 7 04:38:19 CEST 2003 i686 unknown unknown GNU/Linux Kernel issue? Please i need these files :) David E.

Re: [expert] wierd probs with tape drive
I usually so far haven't had issues with the tape drive, which is an HP Surestore DAT - SCSI using an Adaptec 2910C controller. Bad form I know but it's starting to read the files. Dunno waht happened. I reset the machine, tried 2.4.16 older kernel, couldn't even get into the drive, said no /dev/st0. Modules looked like they were there, but possibly unused. With 2.4.21.0.1mdk, it lets me start tarring from the drive but it seems pretty slow - these are .mp3 files though. I was getting read errors from the drive yesterday... Please i need these files :) David E. Fox Thanks for letting me [EMAIL PROTECTED]change magnetic patterns [EMAIL PROTECTED] on your hard disk. --- Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
