Still no luck. I can't write a single byte to tape!

The write protection tab on the cartridge is not in read-only-position!

OK, I have changed to direct ATAPI mode (w/out SCSI emulation)

no more SCSI subsystem
and using /dev/nht0 to access the tape

I still can't write:

now with:

$buffer='false';
$blksize='32'; # set according to "mt -f /dev/nht0 status"
#$mt_blksize = "0";

"Eingabe-/Ausgabefehler" in English: "Input/output error"


What to do now? :-(

[flexbackup-help] Can't set blksize

2006-05-03 Thread Peter Velan
Hello,

I'm using a Travan drive on Linux (Debian/Sarge). The drive does not
accept setblk:

--
# mt -f /dev/nst0 status
drive type = Generic SCSI-2 tape
drive status = 1207960064
sense key error = 0
residue count = 0
file number = 0
block number = 0
Tape block size 512 bytes. Density code 0x48 (unknown).
Soft error count since last status=0
General status bits on (4101):
 BOT ONLINE IM_REP_EN
#

--
from dmesg:
hdc: Seagate STT3401A, ATAPI TAPE drive
SCSI subsystem driver Revision: 1.00
hdc: attached ide-scsi driver.
scsi0 : SCSI host adapter emulation for IDE ATAPI devices
  Vendor: Seagate   Model: STT3401A  Rev: 310A
  Type:   Sequential-Access  ANSI SCSI revision: 02

--
# flexbackup -newtape

flexbackup version 1.2.1 (http://flexbackup.sourceforge.net)
/etc/flexbackup.conf syntax OK

|
| Checking 'buffer' on this machine... Ok
| Checking /bin/sh on this machine... bash1
|
| Trying "mt defblksize" instead of "mt setblk"
Error setting block size
Neither of these commands worked:
  mt -f /dev/nst0 setblk 0
  mt -f /dev/nst0 defblksize 0
#

I have no problems to perform 'rewind', 'erase' or 'retension' commands
via 'mt' on '/dev/nst0'

Is there a real chance to use flexbackup with this drive?

Thanks,
Peter
