Hi All
I have been happily doing nightly full backups on one of my Linux Servers for
a few months now. However, since the beginning of this week I have been
getting the following errors. Has my Tape Drive failed? Has a cable got
broken? Could somebody give me a How-To in order to Troubleshoot my tape
drive please?
My failed log is below:-

Here is part of my "dmesg" with my Tape Drive detected:-
scsi2 : Initio INI-A100U2W SCSI device driver; Revision: 1.02d
Vendor: HP Model: C5683A Rev: C111
Type: Sequential-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
st: Version 20040403, fixed bufsize 32768, s/g segs 256
Attached scsi tape st0 at scsi2, channel 0, id 3, lun 0
st0: try direct i/o: yes (alignment 512 B), max page reachable by HBA 1048575
Note that mt commands (such as mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind or mt -f /dev/st0
rewind) also give me input/output errors, when I turn Bacula off.
Many Thanks
