We have installed a Sony SDX-260V tape drive in a Gentoo Linux 2.6.20 system. It is using a SCSI interface.
We have run the btape utility to test the tape drive, and that came back fine, with no errors. However, whenever we attempt to do a backup, it immediately fails with a i/o error, and then indicates that the tape is full. Here are the relevant lines from the log file: 13-Apr 20:00 server01-dir: Start Backup JobId 11, Job=NightlySave.2007-04-13_20.00.00 13-Apr 20:00 server01-sd: Wrote label to prelabeled Volume "Friday1" on device "SDX-250V" (/dev/nst0) 13-Apr 20:00 server01-sd: NightlySave.2007-04-13_20.00.00 Error: block.c:569 Write error at 0:3 on device "SDX-250V" (/dev/nst0).
