I'm using the following /dev/nst0 And then [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# flexbackup -test-tape-drive
flexbackup version 1.2.1 (http://flexbackup.sourceforge.net) /etc/flexbackup.conf syntax OK |------------------------------------------------------------ | Checking 'buffer' on this machine... Ok | Checking /bin/sh on this machine... bash2 |------------------------------------------------------------ | Testing will *erase* the tape currently in the drive! | Hit CTRL-C to abort within 10 seconds... |------------------------------------------------------------ | If for some reason this program does not exit within a few mi | Hit CTRL-C, and try adjusting $blksize, $pad_blocks, or $mt_b |------------------------------------------------------------ | Rewinding & erasing tape... /dev/nst0: Input/output error | Creating index key 200505031834 Here is my config file # Block size (in kilobytes!) to use for archive programs and dd. Default is # 10 for most things. Some tape drives need 32 or 64. Set to '0' to # disable all blocking $blksize = '10'; # Block size (in bytes!) to use for the tape device, with "mt setblk" or # equivalent. If set to 0, will use "variable" block size for the tape # device (which is recommended). Comment out or set to "$blksize * 1024" to # have it be the same as the archiver block size above. $mt_blksize = "0"; # Padding. True to pad blocks to blocksize # (devices only, not used when archiving to files) $pad_blocks = 'true'; I suppose that it come from my blksize or pad but I don't know anything about it, and I try all settings. Moreover, it that I can't made lot of test cause when I made any test , it take too much time, so I don't know how begin ? Any suggestion?
