IS there a know bug in cpio an Archive Viper QIC 150 drives? I ALWAYS
get the following problem when using cpio on this drive.
Configuration :
386DX / 20
AMI BIOS 1987 - a bit old I know :-(
AHA 1542A SCSI controller
2 SCSI disks : a Quantum 207MB (from a Sun)
a Micropolis 300MB (also from a Sun)
Archive Viper QIC-150 (Also also from a Sun)
386BSD 0.1 pk 0.2.4 (with Julian's SCSI, sio + codrv)
I can write to the drive without any apparent problems using
find / -print | cpio -ovBc > /dev/rst0
All seems ok, the write finishes, but when I go to read the tape again, I get :
cpio -ivBct < /dev/rst0

cpio: Out of phase--get help
the "0000000e" and "0000001e" are not real filenames.
PS : This bit me in the bum the other day when I went to re partition my
system disk. I repartitioned, ran mkfs, then when I went to restore the
data, guess what? Argggg .....
Anyway that's another story.....
Any help appreciated.... Also any information on why I cant seem to get
either 386bsd or MS/DOS (using aspi4dos) to recognise an old
Sun 60MB QIC drive would be appreciated. This drive is from an old Sun386i and
uses the Emulex MT-02 SCSI controller board with an Archive drive.
