Hi ! Yes, doing that at the moment. It takes a long time to reset all my tapes, erase them, and start some tests on them .... it takes days ... More to come soon ...
By the way, what is the best way to erase a tape ? I tried a "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/st0" but I had to stop it after 24h (maybe I should use bigger block size to increase speed ?) mt -f /dev/st0 erase gives me some error : Input/Ouput error after a few seconds...
