Then the st0(aha0:4:0): HARDWARE FAILURE info:20800 asc:80,85 Vendor Specific ASC st0(aha0:4:0): HARDWARE FAILURE asc:80,85 Vendor Specific ASC st0(aha0:4:0): HARDWARE FAILURE asc:80,9c Vendor Specific ASC messages begin to rain down. I can take the same tape, stick it in a 2.2.5-RELEASE box with a (ahc0:4:0): "CONNER CTT8000-S 1.17" type 1 removable SCSI 2 st0(ahc0:4:0): Sequential-Access density code 0x45, drive empty and dump 1.6GB to it. I've tried using the `a' and `B 2000000' options to dump with no avail. Even after writing the tape on the second machine, which I assume would remove any bogus EOM marks, the results are the same. I REALLY need to back that first box up. Any suggestions, short of swapping tape drives? -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jack O'Neill Finger jacko@diamond.xtalwind.net or jack@xtalwind.net http://www.xtalwind.net/~jacko/pubpgp.html #include for my PGP key.
