Help! Debian 4.0 & Ultrium 1840 SAS

[Jon Dunster]

Hi there,

I've got an Ultrium 1840 SAS running with Debian 4.

It appears to be backing up files and then drops out with:

tar: /dev/st0: Cannot write: Input/output error
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

Experimenting with different block sizes seems to make this happen sooner or later. I've tried different media and HP have replaced the drive but to not avail.

Anyone any ideas?

Thank you,

Jon

It's a compatibility issue acc. to me.
The OS is not supported.
