I sure hope someone can help me out with this.
I am lucky enough to have a really nice scsi tape drive a seagate stt220000N.
http://www.seagate.com/cda/products/tapesales/marketing/detail/0,1122,100,00.html
its a nice 20 gig travan. I can get my machine to see it just fine and Kudzu jumped
up and said it saw it, set it to /dev/st0 ~/dev/tape. however the problem is, any time i
try to write anything to it, it goes about a consistant 333k then wants a new tape??
i have tried them all "dump" "BRU" even *icckk* "Kdat" they all do the same.. so im thinking,
config error. but WHAT? anyone have any ideas where i should start? and if you can help, please be
as specific as possible.
i do have the mt-st package installed, mt operations are fine. however stinit tells me "no working
config file found" and i have -NO- idea were to start on that one.
thanks in advance for ANY help.
