SUMMARY: Quick Tape drive help needed!!!! {Contains Proprietary Context}

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



There was nothing wrong with my tape drive.  There was a problem with the tape.  I am using an exabyte 8mm tape drive.  The exabyte tape drive only likes exabyte tapes.  The user I was trying to help was using a Sony tape.

I have 2 tape drives hooked up to this computer. How can I get the files I need off?  How can I tell if the tape drive is configured?  How can I configure it?  I have tried mt -f /dev/st0 status  it says that one of the tape drives is attached.  However what about the other one.

mt -f /dev/st1 status tell you anything?
