Hi Ralf, here is my config : Device { Name = "Sony SDX-700C" Media Type = "AIT" Archive Device = "/dev/nsa0" Device Type = tape Autochanger = no Always Open = yes Volume Poll Interval = 1 hour Removable Media = yes Random Access = no Requires Mount = no Hardware End of Medium = no Backward Space Record = no Backward Space File = no Fast Forward Space File = no BSF at EOM = yes Two EOF = yes Close on Poll= yes Offline on Unmount = yes }
To label a new tape I do the following : # mt -f /dev/nsa0 rewind # mt -f /dev/nsa0 weof 2 # bconsole * label * .... Regarding the hardware problem I'm 100% sure that it doesn't come from the SCSI card (I tried with 2 differents, an Adaptec and a QSI), it doesn't come from the tape drive too because I had the same problem in the past with a Sony SDX 500C, the medias are OK too (sometimes it fails with a media that didn't fail in a previous rotation cycle), and I tested with another SCSI cable too. The only thing I haven't changed is the SCSI terminator .. What's strange is that all the it happens randomly (it could run 5+ jobs without any problem).
