Subject: scsi tape driver I/O error on mag tape
Date: Thu, 04 Mar 1999 22:17:33 GMT
Hi there,
I have a Digital TLZ07-DA tape drive attached to a Linux system (RH5.2). The
scsi tape driver is /lib/modules/2.0.36-0.7/scsi/st.o. Running the following
test program:
#include sys/mtio.h
#include errno.h
#define BUFSIZ 2048
#define ERPRINT printf("%s\n",strerror(errno))
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
int fd;
int i;
charbuf[BUFSIZ];
char * buf1 = "0009hello0006\r\n";
struct mtop op;
if ((fd = open("/dev/st0", 2, 511)) 0) {
printf("unable to open: %d\n",fd);
ERPRINT;
exit(1);
}
/* write end-of-file record */
op.mt_op = MTWEOF;
op.mt_count = 1;
if ((i = ioctl(fd, MTIOCTOP, (char*)op)) 0) {
printf("unable to write EOF record: %d\n",i);
ERPRINT;
exit(1);
}
strcpy(buf, buf1);
if ((i = write(fd, buf, BUFSIZ)) != BUFSIZ) {
printf("error in writing: %d\n",i);
ERPRINT;
exit(1);
}
/* write forward space record */
op.mt_op = MTFSR;
op.mt_count = 1;
if ((i = ioctl(fd, MTIOCTOP, (char*)op)) 0) {
printf("unable to forward space: %d\n",i);
ERPRINT;
exit(1);
}
close(fd);
return 0;
}
I got the error:
unable to forward space: -1
Input/output error
I have two questions. Does the above program look OK in terms of the order of
operations? If yes, then is it a bug in st.o?
By the way, if I close the device without forwarding space in the above
program, then I can read what I have written to the tape. This seems to
vindicate the test program. But I am not an expert on mag tape...
Let me know if you have any thoughts on this issue. Thanks in advance!

Did you run lilo after changing the file?
It should have said.

adding dos
Good luck

Hello folks,
I need help with configuring my lilo.conf file. The scenario is as follows:
I had one SCSI disc dedicated to Linux. Recently I added a new disk to the
system with DOS on it. Now I want to be able to go to DOS or Linux frm the
Lilo prompt. I need help in setting up the lilo.conf script for this.
My linux disk has SCSI ID 0
My DOS disk has SCSI ID 1
The DOS disk can be mounted as sdb1, but I can't seem to get the script right
for accessing DOS from lilo prompt.
The lilo.conf on my system is shown below:
boot=/dev/sda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.0.34-0.6
label=linux
root=/dev/sda1
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.0.34-0.6.img
read-only
other=/dev/sdb1
label=dos
table=/dev/sdb

Based on several responses to my original replay to this thread, I will say it
again. This is NOT just a Solaris bug! There are at least 6 persons other than
myself who have seen this problem with Linux -- Linux NFS with the 2.2.x client.
(Server code does not seem to matter.) Hence, while Sun may have a patch to
work around this issue, I feel that there is a much deeper problem going on here.
With just 2.2.x, my 'discovery' case was a wine compile. With this kernel, NFS
would hang solid on many files.
With 2.2.x-ac5, the hangs went away, but instead files were truncated and the
compile corrupted.
With the 2.0.36 kernel/client, everything build perfectly. Kernels were build
from the same (as near as possible) and

Folks:
Can you please point me to a place where I can look at IP module source
code.I have to hack into that and make some changes in it ie., find the
router alert option in it.
I want to get the entire source but could not figure it out.
Thanks for your interest in helping out people like us,

Well, you need the source code, look at
http://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/kernel/v2.2
and get the latest (actually 2.2.2 has a few minor breakages, you may be
better off with 2.2.1 if you actually want to use it). Un-archive it:
cd /usr/src
tar zxvf linux-2.2.1.tar.gz
then have a look here:
/usr/src/linux/net/ipv4 (or ipv6 if you like)
Good luck!

Anyone know the deal with sending IP packets over PPP with SOCK_PACKET.? I
know there was/is a bug in the PPP device driver, but I'm
wondering whether it has been fixed yet and what the actual ppp header
format is!?
Anyone actually got it working and if so please ENLIGHTEN ME!!
(Please email back if possible)
Thanx,
Xris.

PDCurses is available as a pre-compiled DLL for VC++ 5.0. You can also use
PDCurses under Linux and get a native X11 application.
See my WWW home page below for where PDCurses can be downloaded.

Howdy,
When I try to load any modular driver, either with kerneld, or
manually using insmod, the following error is produced:
insmod: error in loading shared libraries
: undefined symbol: __bzero.
The real problem is probably that you are using insmod compiled with
glibc2.1, but you have glibc2.0 or libc5 on your system. I realized you
solved it yourself, but another way to have solved it would have been to
re-compile it yourself.
libc5:
% nm /lib/libc.so.5 |grep bzero
0006e220 T bzero
glibc 2.0:
% nm /usr2.0/lib/libc.so.6 |grep bzero
000423b0 T bzero
glibc 2.1:
% nm /usr2.1/lib/libc.so.6 |grep bzero
0005cca0 T __bzero
0005cca0 W bzero
