I' m probing a simple tar cvf of a sample It takes 15 minutes to say tar: /dev/nst0: n'a pu écrire seulement 0 sur 10240 octets tar: Erreur non récupérable: fin de l'exécution immédiate Say that it can't write only 0 on 10240 octets And errors then stop execution Theres is no update bios to do on the server, thougt I have now idea how beginning. I read something maybe a onfiguration with the scsi and ide to convert nst0 on nta0 but no ide how to convert this. Suggestion will be welcome.
