Andrew,
thanks, i actually have read the mt man page and
everything... i still don't have a real solid concept
of what is going on w/ tape changing devices and what
not... i read up on mtx, and ran mtx status. here's
the output:

Brian,
Your post didn't really tell me whether you'd narrowed the problem to
the Linux device driver already. If you have, then ignore this reply. If
you haven't, here's the basic situation:
The error you're getting indicates that the device hates what the system
is saying to it, but it's an open

What does mt -f /dev/[n]st0 status report?
Are you including the -f and specifying the device in your mt commands? --
mt's default device is /dev/tape, from memory, so you'll need to override
it (or create a symlink in /dev).

I discovered the problem -- it turned out to be the SCSI chain wasn't

I purchased a new internal SCSI cable with an active terminator and now it

How do you clean the heads? I have got an Iomega Ditto internal
Great! Thanks!
I was afraid something might be wrong. Although I can't get information
from "mt" any more. I'll probably have to reboot. Thanks again.

Ossama,
I get similar errors on my system when the tape heads are dirty. I do nightly
backups and about every two months I need to clean the tape heads to get rid
of errors like these.
Hope this helps,
