[Bacula-users] Exabyte 221L with IBM UltriumTD2 drive: mt -f /dev/nst0 eject / offline /rewoffl (as well as mtx -f /dev/sg0 eject) don't work. Anyone expierienced with it?

[Christoff Buch]

Hi,

the phenomenon is this:

I type one of the commands on the shell: mt -f /dev/nst0 offline / rewoffline / eject.
Then it takes a time till prompt comes back (says nothing, just comes back).
But the tape keeps loaded.
Afterwards, a mt -f /dev/nst0 status gives me:
"Input/Output error".  (or any other mt - command)

(I have to move the tape via remote control = webgui of the changer, then switch back to scsi control, which solves the input / output error. But I still can't eject the tape)

Has anyone expieriences with a simliar situation and can give me some hints?

Thanks in advance!

Best Regards,

Christoff
