Thanks for the post Michael. Unfortunately I am still getting the same results.
I changed my SCSI card settings so that the ID of the tape drive was
now:Initiate Wide Negotiation = NoSync Transfer Rate = 40MB/sPacketized =
NoQAS = NoThe tape drive is on the same channel as the hard drives so I could
not disable the BIOS for the channel. I did notice something new... I have been
doing all my testing via a SSH connection but saw that every time I ran the
btape test command, an error would be displayed on the server's terminal. I
then ran the btape test command at the server and this is what I got:btape:
btape.c:852 Rewind OK.1000 blocks re-read correctly.(sa0:aacp:0:0:4:0) :
READ(06). CDB: 8 0 0 fc 0 0(sa0:aacp:0:0:4:0) : NO SENSE info:fc00
asc:0,1(sa0:aacp:0:0:4:0) : Filemark detectedJobId 0: Error: block.c:995 Read
error on fd=3 at file:blk 0:1000 on device "HP_Ultrium" (/dev/sa0).
ERR=Operation not permitted.btape: btape.c:864 Read block 1001 failed!
ERR=Operation not permitted I was not seeing the read, no sense and filemark
messages via my SSH console.
I have also decided to install a different SCSI card to use as a test to rule
out any issues with my current Adaptec 2130SLP. Luckily I have a few older
cards laying around that can fill this role. I will attempt this tomorrow and
post my results. Thanks!
