Good morning, I’ve just taken delivery of a new server, and have
discovered that backup to tape isn’t working. The tape drive is found in
all the right messages and logs, but a simple tar command to the tape drive
gives me : tar: /dev/st0: Wrote only 0 of 10240 bytes tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now or a command to just eject the tape from the tape drive
gives me “No such device” as follows: /usr/local/bin : mt -f /dev/st0 eject /dev/st0: No such device I’m told by IBM tech support that my IBM DDS 5 (Dat
72) tape drive is not going to work for me under the Redhat ES 3 operating
system – has anyone else come across this ? Or is there any way around it
