Hello, I have a Dell PowerEdge 2600 server with a DLT tape. It runs RedHat 7.3. There are other servers on the network (100tx ethernet) with drives that are mounted as smbfs shares. I am unable to write directly to the tape from a smbfs share using tar, presumably because the network couldn't keep up. The error was "tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors" , which is not a lot of help. I had hoped to add an IDE disk as a tape buffer, but there is no standard IDE support on the motherboard. I cannot spare 50GB of SCSI disk for buffering. Is there any more sophisticated tape writing software which can handle buffering correctly?
