Greetings,
I'm using a Seagate SideWinder 200 Tape drive. I'm just wondering two
things:
1.) I use the "/usr/bin/mt rewoffl" command when rewinding my tapes
offline. I'm just trying to find out why sometimes it actually
runs the command twice. Example:
sidewinder1# chio status
picker 0:
slot 0: <ACCESS>
slot 1: <ACCESS,FULL>
slot 2: <ACCESS,FULL>
slot 3: <ACCESS,FULL>
drive 0: <ACCESS,FULL>
sidewinder1#
This is showing that the first tape is loaded. When I run the
"/usr/bin/mt rewoffl" command, it's "suppose" to go to the next tape in
line, which would be slot 1. For some reason, *sometimes* it skips, and
just goes to slot 2. Any ideas on this?
I'm just trying to find an accurate way that I can rewind the tape and
have it move on to the next one.
2.) I was also wondering why sometimes I run that /usr/bin/mt rewoffl
command, I get "Device not configured" on some tapes. Any ideas?
Any help would be great, and greatly appreciated. Thanks very much! :)
