Re: Busted Tape Drive
2008-08-05 02:52:05
Steve,
Ever since my latest update from Red Hat, my VXA-2 tape library
has stopped working. It appears /dev/tape is now a directory
instead of a link to /dev/nst0 and every command I give to the
drive returns /dev/nst0: Input/output error.
See the following Red Hat bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=289381
Are you using RHEL or Fedora? The bug is reported for fedora 8 but we
just noticed a similiar issue on a RHEL5.2 box (perhaps this is one of
the feature updates carried over from fedora during the 5.2 upgrade).
The bug indicates that the changes are being removed from fedora
rawhide, which is good...but it's hard to understand how such a major
change made it into RHEL. I'm looking to see what rpm or kernel is
needed to downgrade.
Regards,
Matt
