It's connected! I was able to backup files previously and rewind tapes.

Re: [flexbackup-help] URGENT: Cannot list files
can you confirm from your dmesg that it is connected? even if 2 days ago you were able to connect, doesn't mean it's still connecting now.

Re: [flexbackup-help] URGENT: Cannot list files
$ dmesg|grep nst0 seems to have an empty output. Although as I stated in the previous email, this output seems to show that the tapes were working: | | Backup start: Wed Feb 17 22:54:16 2010 | Backup end: Thu Feb 18 00:01:45 2010 | At block 24937320. | | Rewinding... | Compressing log (all.0.201002172000.gz) | Linking all.latest.gz - all.0.201002172000.gz | The tape seems to be correctly inserted and the ubuntu seems to detecting the drive: $ cat /proc/scsi/scsi Host: scsi1 Channel: 00 Id: 06 Lun: 00 Vendor: SEAGATE Model: DATDAT72-052 Rev: A16E Type: Sequential-AccessANSI SCSI revision: 03 How can I find out what BlockSize shall I use? __ André Tenreiro IT Manager ACTIVE SPACE TECHNOLOGIES Tel: +351 239 700 333 Fax: +351 239 700 301 www.activespacetech.com - Original Message - From: TeckniX loki...@gmail.com To: André Tenreiro andre.tenre...@activespacetech.com Cc: flexbackup-help@lists.sourceforge.net Sent: Tuesday, 2 March, 2010 20:04:09 GMT +00:00 GMT Britain, Ireland, Portugal Subject: Re: [flexbackup-help] URGENT: Cannot list files can you confirm from your dmesg that it is connected? even if 2 days ago you were able to connect, doesn't mean it's still connecting now.
