This is good. mtx can talk to the library. Googling for: mtx Illegal Request I found: http://adsm.org/lists/html/Bacula-users/2011-07/msg00084.html You may be using the wrong device. That is, the wrong sg. Try tapeinfo -f device (see the above URL for details). In addition, this URL (my website) contains a detailed procedure for getting a tape library up and running with mtx-changer (the Bacula script). It may be useful. > > Trying to load drive 0: > mtx -f /dev/changer-sg6 load 1 0 > mtx: Request Sense: Long Report=yes > mtx: Request Sense: Valid Residual=no > mtx: Request Sense: Error Code=70 (Current) > mtx: Request Sense: Sense Key=Illegal Request > mtx: Request Sense: FileMark=no > mtx: Request Sense: EOM=no > mtx: Request Sense: ILI=no > mtx: Request Sense: Additional Sense Code = 3B > mtx: Request Sense: Additional Sense Qualifier = A0 > mtx: Request Sense: Field in Error = 00 > mtx: Request Sense: BPV=no > mtx: Request Sense: Error in CDB=no > mtx: Request Sense: SKSV=yes > mtx: Request Sense: Field Pointer = 18 00 > MOVE MEDIUM from Element Address 4096 to 256 Failed Is the SCSI chain properly terminated? This is my standard question with tape drive problems.
