The "lin-tape" or "lin_tape" means the driver name of IBM ULTRIUM-HH5 tape drive. I've download the lin_tape-1.38.0-1.src.rpm from IBM website. But I can't compile it in Debian 5.0.4. The SAS HBA driver is "mpt2sas", it was installed in my system, successfully. Then I could use "mt -f /dev/st0 status", but I got error message like "read error.. " if I type " mt -f /dev/st0 tell". Under this situation , it could write by "tar" command, but show "write error..." after several hours. If I connect the tape drive to a machine of CentOS with right driver, it show "/dev/IBMtape0" as the device name, and I could have right answer by "mt -f /dev/IBMtape0 tell" So. I need some help. If anyone have any suggestion to help me install the tape in Debian OS? +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by mas...@gate.sinica.edu.tw via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
