Karsten, Thanks a lot for your reply. This is the output of mt -f /dev/st0 status just after inserting the tape:
> drive type = Generic SCSI-2 tape > drive status = 318767616 > sense key error = 0 > residue count = 0 > file number = 0 > block number = 0 > Tape block size 512 bytes. Density code 0x13 (DDS (61000 bpi)). > Soft error count since last status=0 > General status bits on (41010000): > BOT ONLINE IM_REP_EN After the tape is ejected the output is just: "No medium found" ¿Do you think it could be a hardware problem? ¿Maybe creating the device again would help? Again, thanks for your help. -- Eduardo Fernández Corrales [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sistelnet Integraciones Telemáticas - http://www.sistelnet.es NUEVOS TELEFONOS: 95-4186897 95-4186898 902-293030 Fax: 954186901 ----- Original Message ----- From: <kmself@ix.netcom.com> To: <debian-user@lists.debian.org> Sent: Tuesday 14 de November de 2000 3:38 AM Subject: Re: tape is ejected from drive after 10 mins => no unattended backups
