During a dump I noticed these messages in /var/messages:
Apr 9 13:17:13 keng-ppp kernel: [044] ftape-write.c (_write_segment)
- write error, retry 5.
Apr 9 13:17:17 keng-ppp kernel: [045] ftape-write.c (_write_segment)
- write error, retry 6.
Apr 9 13:17:18 keng-ppp kernel: [046] ftape-write.c (write_segment)
- warning: 1 hard error(s) in written segment.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Is there a procedure under Linux to scan the tape and refresh or
update the bad sector map? No manpages here for ft or ftape.
Thanks!
