We are unable to get our tape drive working.
System information is attached below.
Attempting to write to the device gives errors like this:
hdc : bad access: block=0, count=32
ide-tape: ht0: I/O error, pc = 1e, key = 5, asc = 20, ascq = 0
# mt -f /dev/ht0 retension gives:
ide-tape: ht0: I/O error, pc = 1e, key = 5, asc = 20, ascq = 0
Thanks ahead.
