Hello,
I have a HP T4000s tape backup which I am trying to run.
The device st0 is recognize but when I run
> DNS1# dump 0uBbf 2000000 10 /dev/rst0 /
> DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Sun Nov 17 23:17:11 1996
> DUMP: Date of last level 0 dump: the epoch
> DUMP: Dumping /dev/rsd0a (/) to /dev/rst0
> DUMP: mapping (Pass I) [regular files]
> DUMP: mapping (Pass II) [directories]
> DUMP: estimated 27068 tape blocks on 0.01 tape(s).
> DUMP: dumping (Pass III) [directories]
> DUMP: End of tape detected
> DUMP: Closing /dev/rst0
> DUMP: Change Volumes: Mount volume #2
> DUMP: Is the new volume mounted and ready to go?: ("yes" or "no") y
> DUMP: Volume 2 begins with blocks from inode 0
> DUMP: EOT detected at start of the tape!
> DUMP: The ENTIRE dump is aborted.
Or if I type tar cf *
I get:
tar: can't write to /dev/rst0 : Input/output error
mt status shows
Present Mode: Density = 0x45 Blocksize = 512 bytes
---------available modes---------
Mode 0: Density = 0x00 Blocksize variable
Mode 1: Density = 0x00 Blocksize variable
Mode 2: Density = 0x00 Blocksize variable
Mode 3: Density = 0x00 Blocksize variable
Do I need to format the tape? If so how do I do that.
Please help me.
Thank you,
