G'day all... Over the weekend, I installed a tape drive on our Mandrake 8.2 box. Since then, I've had a few troubles.
Immediately after physical installation, the second hard drive in the machine developed superblock errors. On the same day I had to do a hard reset (after performing backups). Now the tape drive doesn't respond. I insert a tape in the drive, wait for it to go online, issue a command such as `restore -C -D /` or `mt fsf 1` and the only response I get is: /dev/tape: Input/output error /dev/tape is a symlink to /dev/nst0 Specifying the device to be /dev/st0 or /dev/nst0 doesn't make a difference. I'm betting any money that a soft reset of the machine would rectify things, but isn't an option at the moment. FWIW, I'm using: mt-st-0.6-3mdk rmt-0.4b25-1mdk Any help, tips, pointers, etc, appreciated. (Also, please repond to me directly as well as the list, as I'm subscribed at home - not at work where I'm sending this from.) TIA! Mike --- Michael S. E.
