I am working with a customer on this issue. He has an IBM x305 server,
Adaptec ultra 160 scsi controller, and a quantum atl superloader dlt drive.
Linux sees the drive as does the software he plans to use (arkeia). He is
able to do a status on the drive below and it shows ok if there is no tape
in...but when he adds a tape he gets errors (see below). The self
diagnostics has read/write tests that all pass. He is just not able to read
or write to tapes in linux. I read somewhere even though a tape is loaded,
it isn't "ready" to be used yet.
-------Output with no tape in drive-------
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# mt -f /dev/st0 status
SCSI 2 tape drive:
File number=-1, block number=-1, partition=0.
Tape block size 0 bytes. Density code 0x0 (default).
Soft error count since last status=0
General status bits on (50000):
DR_OPEN IM_REP_EN
-------Output with tape in drive-------
[EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]# mt -f /dev/st0 status
/dev/st0: Input/output error
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Eric
