Hello I have an HP DAT 72 USB drive model C7438A. I have followed the instructions provided by HP for configuring the tape drive and everything *seems* to be in place. I say seems because flexbackup --test-tape-drive fails all the time.After some debugging and losing quite a couple of hours i was trying to write files by hand to the tape after which i would execute the command: mt -f /dev/st0 tell and the result is allways: At block 0. No matter how many files I write or whatever I do the result i get is allways At block 0. In the begginging in used to erase the tape but it took so many hours (2h or so) that now i just rewind it but nevertheless the result was the same. Any ideas how to solve this and finnaly start making some backups?
