Hi Just suscribed to questions and trawled the archives. I need to recover data off a Travan TR4 tape, I scrounged a HP T4000es and it is plugged in to an Adaptec which finds it as "HP T4000s 1.09" type 1 removeable SCSI 2 st0(aha0:4:0): Sequential-Access density code 0x45, 512-byte blocks, write-enabled This is on 2.2.6. Any attempt to use it just hangs - no mt status, tar or dump seems to work with it. There is a ncr scsi device built in to the motherboard but I never use it, maybe this is causing the problem. Any ideas as to what the heck is causing me this problem? Dmesg has st0(aha:4:0): timed out or DUMP: estimated 1344 tape blocks. st0: not ready DUMP: Cannot open output "/dev/nrst0". A real pain - just one tape from a backup of a Linux box ..... I may have to install the L-word on a box just to get the data off .... - now there's a challenge!
