I don't know what the problem is, but a "mt fsf 1" command with the device returns the following error: (sa0:sym0:0:6:0): ERASE. CDB: 19 1 0 0 0 0 (sa0:sym0:0:6:0): CAM Status: SCSI Status Error (sa0:sym0:0:6:0): SCSI Status: Check Condition (sa0:sym0:0:6:0): MEDIUM ERROR asc:3b,0 (sa0:sym0:0:6:0): Sequential positioning error (sa0:sym0:0:6:0): Retries Exhausted I have tried to format it with "mt erase" etc. I have no experience with tapes, but I did almost everything I have read in the docs I could find. I thouth it was a medium error (seemed obviously), but I have tried 5 different tapes -the right ones for my device according to the instructions of HP. FreeBSD 5 recognizes the device (snip of dmesg): sa0 at sym0 bus 0 target 6 lun 0 sa0: Removable Sequential Access SCSI-2 device sa0: 10.000MB/s transfers (10.000MHz, offset 16) Please help me!
