Hello,
I have a Seagate STT20000A and that thing is hanging everytime I run a tar -cvf /dev/ht0 /etc *to backup /etc*.
After calling Dell (the vendor of the machine) I
upgraded the firmware of the tape drive but its still hanging.
I checked when I is hanging, and it happends everytime when it want's to write to the
tape. So not with rewinding or retentioning.
Thus anybody have an solutions for this (big) problem? |

Do you need to use 'ht0'?
I have the same tape drive(connected by USB); once module st is loaded, /dev/st0. nst0 and others show up...
Just to check I tried: "tar -cvf /dev/nst0 /etc" and it worked ( on my system ),
I hope this helps. |
