ok, I searched through the archives and the faq. :( First, is there a command (tapetype?) that can be run to get the numbers I need? If not, has anyone come up with the config for this tape drive. TIA, --Lee /\ / Lee A. FedorSenior UNIX

Hi! By two days I've got Input/output error everytime amanda tries to backup or just check if proper tape is inserted. The same errors occurs if I try to manually rewind or retension the tape. I'm located in Romania and my server is in US, so I cannot figure out what's happens. But a guy from

Hi, This explains nearly everything. AFAIK the OnStream drives don't comply 100% to the scsi-standard's. Under linux you need a special kernel-driver for these drives. In the kernel 2.4.9 i know it is integrated, for earlier versions you'll probably need a patch to get it working correct.

Radu, I used to have one of those tape drives and it kept doing the same thing to me as well. Only difference was that I was using it with NT and BackupExec. The only short term fix was to turn the drive on and off, then restart the device drivers for BackupExec. After replacing the drive twice

Please try the following patch. It will not fix anything, but will log the exit code of all the processes driver starts, in particular, the messed up dumpers. Actually, it will only log them if they indicate some kind of failure, but I'd be surprised if they are going away cleanly. The

I have a ADR30 and have similar problems. The Input/output errors seemed to go away for me once I used amlabel to label the tape. In other words, it seemed to give the errors only when the tape had never been written to. As for ejecting the tape, my solution has been to try multiple mt rewind

John, I have made some progress on this problem, which is why it has taken so long to respond to your last message. I first changed out my primary SCSI card which drives my system and dump data disks, and the tape jukebox. I found that my self terminating internal drive was not, so swapped out
