We have an Exabyte VXA2 packetloader 1U attached via SCSI to a server.
We have used mtx and Exabyte's own loadLibtool to rotate the chager
and maniopulate the cartridges, but we cannot arite to any tapes.
After a tape is loaded in the drive, I try the dump command below:
hostname:~# dump -0u -v -f /dev/sg2 /var
DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Sun Aug 22 22:50:48 2004
DUMP: Dumping /dev/sda6 (/var) to /dev/sg2
DUMP: Excluding inode 8 (journal inode) from dump
DUMP: Excluding inode 7 (resize inode) from dump
DUMP: Label: none
DUMP: Writing 10 Kilobyte records
DUMP: mapping (Pass I) [regular files]
DUMP: mapping (Pass II) [directories]
DUMP: estimated 343925 blocks.
DUMP: Volume 1 started with block 1 at: Sun Aug 22 22:50:56 2004
DUMP: write error 20 blocks into volume 1: Cannot allocate memory
DUMP: Do you want to rewrite this volume?: ("yes" or "no") no
DUMP: Do you want to start the next tape?: ("yes" or "no") no
DUMP: The ENTIRE dump is aborted.
/dev/sg1 is the changer and sg2 is te tape device, we have made sure
of this several times. However, the error message is the same if you
try /dev/sg1 instead.
Has anyone ever used an exabyte chagner or more specifically the VXA
packetloader?
We are using the most recent 2.6.7 kernel in debian unstable. Any
ideas are greatly appreciated. Thanks for any help.
