Well, this computer doesn't have mt on it! And I can't seem to figure
out where to get it. (You'd think ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/mt/ would
be it, but apparently not.) So anyone know where mt is?
However, I went ahead and set tapedev to /dev/nst0 (ignoring the
changer for now) and got this message from amcheck:
ERROR: /dev/nst0: reading label: Input/output error
(expecting a new tape)
If I try /dev/nst1, 2, or 3 I get 'no tape online' so I'm quite sure
that's the tape drive device.
I don't know what to make of the "Input/outpu error" message though.
Could be that there's a problem in the tape drivers? Or something
else?
Thanks,
