Oh, I'm sorry, no. here are the results of that... "SCSI 2 tape drive: File number=0, block number=0, partition=0. Tape block size 0 bytes. Density code 0x1b (DLT 35GB). Soft error count since last status=0 General status bits on (41010000): BOT ONLINE IM_REP_EN"
Hmm. A bunch of 0's; maybe the tape is bad?? I will use a tape that I know for certain is good... but seems like a bad tape would make some error light come on the unit... -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Magnus Hedemark Sent: Tuesday, March 30, 2004 11:14 AM To: Triangle Linux Users Group discussion list Subject: Re: [TriLUG] RH9 tape device?
