I have a Connor Tapestor 4Gig SCSI tape drive. I just put
2.1.0-951104-SNAP on my Pent 120, with an Adeptec 2940 SCSI controller. I
have tried using tar and dd to write to the tape, however it seem to stop
working within writing 50 megs. I looked in the handbook the backup section
and there was no information in there to help me with this problem. What is
the proper way to backup to a SCSI tape? What could be the problem?
I have used dd to write to the tape from /dev/zero and successfully written
up to 200megs but it seems to fail when using tar and gzip compression.
