However any attempt to write to the tape drive (via either flexbackup or just tar) results in "/dev/st0: Input/output error" The machine seems to recognise the drive ( HP Storageworks Ultrium 448 ) and that there's a tape in it and "mt status" seems to work... "mt -f /dev/st0 rewind" or "erase" throw no errors... Code: root@stor001:/# mt status SCSI 2 tape drive: File number=0, block number=0, partition=0. Tape block size 0 bytes.

Hardware ID of the deck is /dev/st0 If I attempt a backup using, for example, the syntax tar cvfz /dev/st0 /home/ytene/data I am tar /dev/st0 cannot rewarded with a spooling tape drive and a scrolling display of files being written to the tape. So far so good. However, if I try and catalog the tape - or restore from it, using the syntax tar tvf /dev/st0 or tar xvf /dev/st0 all that I get for my trouble is the following error message : root@voyager:/home/ytene# tar tvf /dev/st0 tar: /dev/st0: Cannot read: Input/output error tar: At beginning of tape, quitting now tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now root@voyager:/home/ytene# I did some basic trawling around and came upon the following reference:- http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/f...er/021514.html [forgive the fact that this is a bsd site and not specifically linux related - I think the tools are largely common] and I tried to follow the suggestions given there, but without success. These failures seem to be 100% consistent and repeatable. I have tried to erase the tape back to "new" state, by using mt -f /dev/st0 erase which, for 72Gb tapes, takes an age! However, this makes no difference. I have

Each is a Seagate or IBM Travan drive (yes, I know they're old and I need to access the data; they were in Win boxes) using QIC-80/DC-2120 media. I've been trying to solve this using three Fedora boxes (different versions) and one Debian machine. The OS's recognize the drives and they show up as /dev/st0. more /proc/scsi/scsi Attached devices: Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: ATA Model: WDC WD1600JB-00D Rev: 65.1 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 05 Host: scsi1 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: HL-DT-ST Model: DVDRAM GSA-4163B Rev: A103 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 05 Host: scsi1 Channel: 00 Id: 01 Lun: 00 Vendor: Seagate Model: STT20000A Rev: 8A51 Type: Sequential-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 dmesg | grep scsi scsi0 : pata_amd scsi1 : pata_amd scsi 0:0:0:0: Direct-Access ATA WDC WD1600JB-00D 65.1 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 scsi 1:0:0:0: CD-ROM HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4163B A103 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 scsi 1:0:1:0: Sequential-Access Seagate STT20000A 8A51 PQ: 0 ANSI: 2 sd 0:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg0 type 0 scsi 1:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg1 type 5 scsi 1:0:1:0: Attached scsi generic sg2 type 1 sr0: scsi3-mmc drive: 40x/40x writer dvd-ram cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray sr 1:0:0:0: Attached scsi CD-ROM sr0 scsi2 : sata_nv scsi3 : sata_nv st 1:0:1:0: Attached scsi tape st0 scsi4 : sata_nv scsi5 : sata_nv dmesg | grep tape st 1:0:1:0: Attached scsi tape st0 With no media in the drives, I get a status report; with media inserted, I get the same input/output errors.
