Hi,
this error seems to have been around a bit on the news groups but
I see no
answers only questions (yeh I've got a bible on the shelf next to
the Koran
so I could try that).
I've a DLT4000 tape drive connected to a scsi card in my sun blade
100
running openbsd 4.2
I'm getting this error in dmesg
st0: 10240-byte record too big
When I try to write to the tape I get this error:
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/st0
dd: /dev/st0: Input/output error
1+0 records in
0+0 records out
0 bytes transferred in 1.138 secs (0 bytes/sec)
I'm guessing its a simple block size thing but if I have to set
the block
size every time It's going to be a major pain.
tar -cvf /dev/st0 /var/mail /home
was going to be my backup system :)
mt seems to be able to set the block size but I've no idea what it
should
be. Are any of you using DLT4000 tape drives under openbsd?
thanks
As mentioned in st(4), use the raw interface.
