Hi;
I'm having a heck of a hard time configuring my tape drive. I have RH6.2
and a SeaGate 20/40 LVD DDS-4. I ran this command:
>>>
thewebsons:/dev# mt -f st0 rewind
<<<
and it gave me another command prompt so I guess it liked it. I presume
that means RH knows the device is there, right? However, I ran these commands:
>>>
thewebsons:/usr/lib/apache# tar -cvf /dev/st0 /apache
tar: /dev/st0: Read-only file system
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
thewebsons:/usr/lib/apache# tar -tvf /dev/st0
tar: Read error on /dev/st0: Input/output error
tar: At beginning of tape, quitting now
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
<<<
and as you can see, no luck. So, then I got to wondering if all I need to
do is format the tape. But apparently you can't do that in Linux?! Where do
I go from here?
TIA,
BenO
