Greetings all, hope you can help: Running the above system - RH Linux distro, 7.0, vanilla install. I'm using taper 6.9 Tape devices are set to /dev/zqft0 and /dev/nzqft0. Block size set to 32K. I've manually added the line: options ftape ft_fdc_rate_limit=500 to modules.conf, and this still fails. /var/log/messages tells me things like: (can't cut/paste, sorry) Tape drive maximum DTR 317 ft QIC40 tape 59070KB usable on tape 32 bad sectors so it must work - it seems to read OK. Using the taper command "test fast fsf" or "test can seek" always yields the following kinds of messages: zftape-rw.c - Failed to verify written segment 0 zftape-write.c - Warning: update of first header segment failed And taper reports an IO error. Anyone seen and conquered this? Ed _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
