Just got a new taper, an HP DLT VS80. We previously had an Adic, 20/40. The use the same type of tapes, DLT IV. Now, I want to keep using some of the old tapes, but the HP won't write to them, and I believe that is because they are just 20/40 GB, not 40/80 GB. I found some info saying that the first time a tape is used, the taper writes info about the density (or sets the density somehow). I use FreeBSD, so I expect mt(1) should somehow be able to perform the trick. Some tapers seem to have a button for switching density, but this machine doesn't. Odd thing is, "mt stat" always returns 0x41 density, which is 40 GB. Both for new and old tapes: Mode Density Blocksize bpi Compression Current: 0x41:DLTapeIV(40GB) variable 98250 IDRC ---------available modes--------- 0: 0x41:DLTapeIV(40GB) variable 98250 IDRC 1: 0x41:DLTapeIV(40GB) variable 98250 IDRC 2: 0x41:DLTapeIV(40GB) variable 98250 IDRC 3: 0x41:DLTapeIV(40GB) variable 98250 IDRC --------------------------------- Current Driver State: at rest. --------------------------------- File Number: 0 Record Number: 0 Residual Count 0 Any ideas how to fix this?

I found some info saying that the > first time a tape is used, the taper writes info about the density (or sets > the density somehow). VS80 is NO "full-featured" DLT IV tape. You can only write to tapes previously written by a VS80 or that are blank (new or _correctly_ degaussed). For a more detailed description (please see this link: http://quantum.broaddaylight.com/quantum_support/FAQ_33_4717.shtm > I use FreeBSD, so I expect mt(1) should somehow be able to perform the > trick. no; it's not a matter of trick. It simply cannot work. VS80 != DLT IV and that's it. HP wants to make extra money from you ;) > Any ideas how to fix this? buy a DLT IV tape drive, degauss your tapes or buy new tapes. sorry to say there aren't many other possibilities. -- Greetings Bjoern A.
