Hi All, Trying to get a tape drive working on a customer's (remote) Red Hat 7.2 machine I am doing the following:
mt -f /dev/ht0 rewind mt -f /dev/ht0 retension tar -zcpf /dev/ht0 --files-from /etc/backup.inc --exclude-from /etc/backup.exc The last command comes back with: tar: Removing leading `/' from member names tar (child): /dev/ht0: Wrote only 0 of 10240 bytes tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now Broken pipe The logs say: May 18 13:22:12 ljh-server kernel: ide-tape: Reached idetape_chrdev_open May 18 13:22:12 ljh-server kernel: ide-tape: ht0: I/O error, pc = a, key = 7, asc = 27, ascq = 0 Any ideas?
