Gidday there,
I have an Iomega Ditto Max. I am trying to back up with taper. But
it seg faults after 20 minutes (270MB).. very annoying to debug.
The following are some logs that I have grabbed. there are constant
write errors generated by ftape. At the end is the taper_prefs (or
conf, or whatever) file.
I'm using taper to backup with a Ditto Max, on a 3.3 GB tape. The
amount of
data to backup is about 4GB. After 20 minutes, and about 270 MB, there
was
a segmentation fault, and it stopped working.
