My scsi tape drive used to work ok with the original 386bsd scsi driver.
However after installing Julian's new scsi driver the tape is found ok:
aha0 reading board settings, scsidev=7 150 nSEC ok, use 200 nSEC
**aha0 probing for scsi devices**
dev0,lu0: type 0(direct),fixed 'NEC D5882 G01 ' scsi1
sd0: 621MB, cyls 1633, heads 15, secs 52, bytes/sec 512
dev4,lu0: type 1(sequential),removable 'ARCHIVE VIPER 150 21247-005' scsi1
st0: scsi tape drive, 0 blocks of 512 bytes
dev6,lu0: type 5(readonly),removable 'MATSHITACD-ROM CR-5XX 1.0b' scsi1
The disk and CD-Rom work ok but when I try to write anything to a tape with
'tar cvf /dev/rst0 .' these errors are reported:
st0: medium error block no. 40 (decimal)
st0: medium error block no. 21 (decimal)
could not write_filemarks st0
st0: medium error block no. 40 (decimal)
st0: medium error block no. 21 (decimal)
could not write_filemarks st0
I can read tapes ok and retrieve a file but nothing will write.
I have tried several different used and new DC6150 and DC6250 tapes but
still the same error.
I'm sure it must be something simple but I just cannot figure it out.
Anyone any ideas?
Thanks.
