Linux Red Hat 64 just installed and trying to read exabyte tape
When mounting the tape I know have to type
$/bin/mt -f /dev/st2
which appears to work as I also tested the status
when I then try to
$tar -tvf /dev/st2
get the following error
tar: /dev/st2:Cannot read: Input/output error
tar: At beginning of tape: quitting now
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
I have tried to change the blocksize to 1024 using
$/bin/mt -f /dev/st2 setblk 1024
but no luck
I am a novice when it comes to this so please can anyone help
Thnx
J

Re: Linux Red Hat 64 just installed and trying to read exabyte tape
I have been told this is the incorrect forum so thanks for replying with some help.
I have gone to the Linux forum but still waiting to get a reply. So any help welcome.

$~> /bin/mt -f /dev/st2 rewind
$~> /bin/mt -f /dev/st2 fsf 1
$~> tar -tf /dev/st2
(fsf is forward x files so
I think this method of listing content requires you to actually have data on your tape.
You can try to put data to it by using
$~> tar -xf /dev/st2
Then list them by, as i wrote above
$~> tar -tf /dev/st2
Google has alot of information about how to use tape drives with mt and tar if you don't succeed :)
Best regards
