Hi all,
I've just installed amanda on a linux 2.4.17 box, compiled with IDE tape
drive support... everything seemed happy, until I tried labelling my first
tape.
The box is a dell poweredge 500SC.
tape devices are /dev/ht0 & /dev/nht0
The tape device is identified correctly as a Seagate TR5... has a TR5 tape
in it.
When labelling, it checks the label ok, rewinds, writes a new label ok, then
rewinds again to see if the write it just did is still ok, and here it hung
(hard-hang i.e. pull out the powercord).
I used the tapetype listed on amanda.org:
define tapetype tr5
comment "TR-5 Seagate STT220000N-RFT"
length 9598 mbytes
filemark 15 kbytes
speed 720 kps
}
Has anyone had any grief with this? Anyone gotten them to work?
Thanks,
Chris Herrmann
