All, My IBM Ultrium LTO-1 drive under 10.1 can't read what it wrote under 8.2? Any ideas? === Details I was tasked with cataloging a bunch of 2 year old tapes this morning. I know that tape server works because we routinely write tar tapes and read them back in to verify them. When I try to read the 2 year old tapes on my Opensuse 10.1 tape server, I just keep getting the first block of data over and over and the tape is not advancing. ie. "dd bs=256k if=/dev/st0 of=/tmp/dd.out" runs for a long time but the dd.out file is garbage. I just finished putting a blank harddrive in the same computer and installing SUSE 8.2 from DVD. (8.2 was used to create the tapes). I had to manually create a /etc/stinit.def file, but apparently I got close enough because I can read the tapes now with the 8.2 kernel on the DVDs. Does anyone have any idea why I can't read these tapes with a 10.1 kernel? FYI: I also did a rescue boot to 10.2 and tried. Failed to read accurately there as well. Thanks Greg
