I'm using the 20000124 patchset to 2.2.14 I put a blank tape in the drive and do 'mt status' and get ide-tape: ht0: failed to find valid ADRL header so I do 'mt erase'. This succeeds, hopefull the right thing to do. I run amlabel to the label the tape. This suceeds. mt rewind; mt tell says it's at block 0. Ok. I can read the label off the tape with no problem. I run a small backup and after finished, if I do mt rewind; mt tell it says I'm at block 11. seeking to block 0 fails. I also get the following kinds of message in the kernel logs: ide-tape: warning revision 2.2 detected (1.1/1.2 supported) ide-tape: invalide header identification string ide-tape: couldn't seek to logical block 0 (at 11), 1 retries During backup I got messages like: ide-tape: expected to find marker at addr 46 also 21, 44, 66, 79 at various times with various tapes. Any ideas? Allen
