Whether I have a tape in the drive or not, I begin with this error message and can never even use the tape drive: tar -tvf /dev/nrst0 tar: read error on /dev/nrst0 : Input/output error or: tar -tvf /dev/rst0 tar: read error on /dev/rst0 : Input/output error For reference, here is my hardware configuration: ahb0: reading board settings, int=11 ahb0 at 0x4000-0x40ff irq 11 on eisa slot 4 (ahb0:0:0): "MICROP 3243-19MZ Q4D HT02" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 sd0(ahb0:0:0): Direct-Access 4095MB (8388315 512 byte sectors) sd0(ahb0:0:0): with 3956 cyls, 19 heads, and an average 111 sectors/track (ahb0:1:0): "IMPRIMIS 94601-15 4614" type 0 fixed SCSI 1 sd1(ahb0:1:0): Direct-Access 992MB (2031705 512 byte sectors) sd1(ahb0:1:0): with 1931 cyls, 15 heads, and an average 70 sectors/track (ahb0:4:0): "TANDBERG TDC 4100 =04Y" type 1 removable SCSI 2 st0(ahb0:4:0): Sequential-Access density code 0x0, drive empty The adaptec is a 274x running in Enhanced mode. Another interesting note is that I cannot get my Seagate Imprimis (Wren) to Fdisk or disklabel so that I may newfs the drive...??!! But the tape drive problem is a real pain in the a$$. If anyone has any thoughts on this, I'd be happy to see this problem leave.... Thanks! :-) -Andrew
