A couple of people have asked me if I have solved this, and I have not.
The error seems to be a problem with the taper not being able to write to my
tape drive. It sends a REQUEST_NEW_TAPE to the driver, who replies NO_NEW_TAPE.
I am unable to figure out what the problem is. What problem is the taper
having with the mounted tape, and why does driver instruct it not to use a new
one?
I have also found what I think must be a typo or bug - I get the following line
in my logs:
taper: Total dump size should be 130801kb, part size is 21474836480kb
That partsize seems to correlate with my "tape_splitsize 20 gb", except it
seems to think my partsize is somewhere around 20 petabytes. I can't seem to
get tapes that size: I even asked at RadioShack ;).
It could just be an extra 'kb' tacked on the end, or a serious calculation
error.
The dump that I am trying to do is less than 2gb, and the LTO2 has 200gb.
can anyone help me figure this out?
Thanks!
Nathan
