hello again! yes, and i am using it ( ln -s /dev/nqft0 /dev/tape ).
but meanwhile i have found these lines in /var/log /messeges : Apr 22 17:18:17 tester kernel: [141] zftape-read.c (check_read_access) - req_len 32768 not a multiple of block size 10240. Apr 22 17:18:18 tester kernel: [142] zftape-write.c (check_write_access) - write-count 32768 must be multiple of block-size 10240. Apr 22 17:18:18 tester kernel: [143] zftape-write.c (_zft_write) - check_write_access(req_len, &volume,&zft_pos,zft_blk_sz) failed: so i guess i am using wrong buffer size. i will have a glimpse on the ftape homepage. tx for your efforts stefan Tom Beer wrote: >Hi Stefan, > >>the device is working properly. i am able to write and read tar archives. >>the mt command is working fine, too. >> > >I'm no expert but two possiblities come to my mind. > >1) you are using a non-rewinding driver. >2) it is simply not compatible with a qic or zip drive. > >Is there a non-rewinding driver for this drive? > >Greets Tom > >
