Greets, at a customer I face problems writing to tape.
We used the cleaning tape and also tried new tapes. It is a DAT72 by HP: Vendor: HP Model: C7438A We get stuff like: st0: Block limits 1 - 16777215 bytes. st0: Sense Key : 0x4 [current] Info fld=0x2f662 st0: ASC=0x9 ASCQ=0x0 st0: Sense Key : 0x4 [current] Info fld=0x2a803 st0: ASC=0x9 ASCQ=0x0 st0: Sense Key : 0x4 [current] Info fld=0x28000 st0: ASC=0x9 ASCQ=0x0 st0: Sense Key : 0x3 [current] Info fld=0x28000 st0: ASC=0xc ASCQ=0x0 st0: Sense Key : 0x4 [current] Info fld=0x2912a st0: ASC=0x9 ASCQ=0x0 st0: Sense Key : 0x4 [current] Info fld=0x2318b st0: ASC=0x9 ASCQ=0x0 http://www.t10.org/lists/asc-num.htm tells me these are "track following errors". Does that mean the drive is defective? Pls share your thoughts ... I have to find a decision for that customer. Thanks, Stefan
