i have been having trouble with backups to a scsi ait tape drive. i have tried using dump and tar and get back i/o errors as well as write protected and permission errors. the tape drive will also lock-up after the i/o errors. i thought it might be caused by a dirty tape drive so i cleaned it, but am still having problems. i just entered in the following command: tar cfv /dev/nrsa0 var and this was the response: tar: can't write to /dev/nrsa0 : Operation not permitted an ls -l of the device shows: crw-rw---- 4 root operator 14, 1 Jul 2 16:06 nrsa0 i am logged in as root when trying to create the backups. do i possibly need to rebuild the device? or is there something i need to do to configure the ait tapes - these are brand new tapes?
