HI,
I recently installed Mandrake 7.1, kernel version 2.2.15, ide-tape driver
version 1.16f.
When I try to access the tape drive (either as /dev/nht0 or /dev/ht0),
using the command "mt -f /dev/ht0 rewind", I get the error message
"Device or resource busy".
When I type dmesg after this, I get the following lines:
ide-tape: ht0: I/O error, pc = 10, key = 3, asc = 30, ascq = 0
ide-tape: ht0: I/O error, pc = 34, key = 3, asc = 30, ascq = 0
ide-tape: ht0: I/O error, pc = 1, key = 3, asc = 30, ascq = 0
ide-tape: ht0: I/O error, pc = 0, key = 3, asc = 30, ascq = 0
During boot, the tape was recognized. The dmesg listing corresponding
to this is the following:
Uniform Multi-Platform E-IDE driver Revision: 6.30
ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx
PIIX4: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 09

ide-tape: hdd <-> ht0: 600KBps, 14*26kB buffer, 5850kB pipeline, 80ms tDSC
This tape drive used to work without any problem under my old OS which was
Redhat Linux 4.2.
Can you please help me with this problem?
Thanks,
Arun
