I'm trying to backup to a Iomega 5G internal tape drive. It seams like it is working when I do a: mt -f /dev/ast0 status Mode Density Blocksize bpi Compression Current: 0x01:X3.22-1983 512 bytes 800 none ---------available modes--------- 0: default variable 0 none 1: default variable 0 none 2: default variable 0 none 3: default variable 0 none --------------------------------- File Number: 0 Record Number: 0 Residual Count 0 but when I do a: mt -f /dev/ast0 erase mt: /dev/ast0: erase: Input/output error and when I do a tar -zpcf /dev/ast0 /home tar: Removing leading / from absolute path names in the archive. tar (child): can't write to /dev/ast0 : Input/output error my dmesg output for the tape looks like this: ast0: TAPE <Seagate STT20000A> at ata1-slave using PIO4 I thank you for your help. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
