Hi, when trying to write to our tape drive, /dev/nrsa0, which was normally working fine, I get the following error: tar: can't write to /dev/nrsa0 : Input/output error Mode Density Blocksize bpi Compression Current: 0x24:DDS-2 variable 61000 DCLZ ---------available modes--------- 0: 0x24:DDS-2 variable 61000 DCLZ 1: 0x24:DDS-2 variable 61000 DCLZ 2: 0x24:DDS-2 variable 61000 DCLZ 3: 0x24:DDS-2 variable 61000 DCLZ --------------------------------- Current Driver State: at rest. --------------------------------- File Number: 0 Record Number: 0 what does this error ususally signify?
