I don't know WTH an internal target failure might be for them. In case you're going to ask their tech support, do also provide the number declared as `info' in the error message. The 44,0 is the ASC and ASCQ (additional sense code, and additional sense code qualifier -- any person with SCSI knowledge should know this words), and the info field is an additional field with an error-specific meaning. > Present Mode: Density = X3B5/88-185A Blocksize variable That's fine. Use it as it is. > Where is the problem ? Is the tape drive dead ? As for the internal target failures, maybe. Your attempt to use the drive with a large fixed block size has been in error, however. Don't do this. See my other mail. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
