I have IBM iseries 230 sever with ridhat linux 7.1on it. I recently boutgh a new tape drive for IBM (20/40GB DDS/4 4mm Internal tape dirve) I think I have setup the tape drive in the server. the server can detect the tape drive now.
But when I try to use linux command to back up a small diretory to the tape, it does not work. The tape does not even wind. I used the commamd tar cvzf /dev/st0 /home/jianping I could see the tape-drive activity indicator and Catridge presence indicator on. But When the process finished, I found nothing had been done. the tape did not even wind(it was still in the original status). What counld be the potential problem? Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated!! -------------------------------- Jianping Zhu Department of Computer Science Univerity of Georgia Athens, GA 30602 Tel 706 5423900 -------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
