Hello, I have tried a completely new tape and now it appears I cannot write to it:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/# dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/zeros count=50 obs=1024 ibs=1024 50+0 records in 50+0 records out 51200 bytes transferred in 0.001761 seconds (29072577 bytes/sec) [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/# dd if=/tmp/zeros of=/dev/nst0 ibs=1024 obs=1024 count=50 dd: writing to `/dev/nst0': Input/output error dd: closing output file `/dev/nst0': Input/output error This may be absurd be need I format the tape as it's been a long time since I used one? They are 150M ddsII tapes. Gavin. -- Dr Gavin Seddon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> University of Manchester -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
