I will pull the tape and check it on another drive. > 2) there is no tape in the drive The front panel says the tape is on the drive as well as the VXATool that says the same. > 3) the joy that is errors on your SCSI chain (assuming your tape > drive is SCSI attached. try sacrificing a goat to your SCSI host bus > adapter...) Hmm. Maybe it needed to be a _virgin_ goat and I should have been facing east at dawn. I'm going to restart the system (host and drive system) and see if there are SCSI gremlins that get exorcised. Super Complicated Satanic Interface is the original name for SCSI, I'm sure. > > What kind of tape drive are you using? This is an Ecrix VXA2 PacketLoader. It's a 1U, 10 tape carousel with a single VXA2 drive. SCSI LVD interface with proper terminations. I seem to only get these errors after a tape has been recycled. I may not have something set right for the process. It still has the label for the tape but it is not keeping the ability to read the tape after a recycle. > > -Aaron > > On Jan 9, 2007, at 7:59 AM, James P.
