Date: Tue, 23 May 1995 13:30:19 -0300 Message-Id: <12379.801250219@mumps.pfcs.com> From: Harlan Stenn Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I just upgraded one of my FreeBSD machines to 950412-SNAP, the one I use as an amanda backup server. The machine is a DX/2-66, EISA, with an AHA 174x controller. I am using a Connor 4326 DDS-2 4mm DAT drive. I put a tape in it, label the tape (which writes a header file out there), and then when I run the dumps I get a message that the tape is write-protected! I've tried ejecting and re-inserting the tapes and power cycling the machine to no avail. Of course, the "mt status" command is useless because it doesn't recognize this type of tape drive. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! H
