Fro your tape devices, try this:

mt -f /dev/nstX setblk 0
mt -f /dev/nstX defblksize 0

Put it in your system (OS) startup scripts.

I successfully completed the migration from Solaris 8 to Linux platform but
same library and tapes.

But the tapes do not get recognised in the library even though they are in
the media database. I am able to label them only if I remove them from the
media database.

I also found an error message in the messages file as:

backup1 ntpd[1858]: time reset -0.507072 s
Feb  3 13:00:05 backup1 ntpd[1858]: kernel time discipline status change 41
Feb  3 13:00:05 backup1 ntpd[1858]: synchronisation lost

Feb  3 13:02:49 backup1 kernel: st1: Incorrect block size.
Feb  3 13:03:12 backup1 last message repeated 2 times

Can any one help on this?

My stinit.def file looks like this:

# initial LTO Gen 1 entry for IBM , may need additional tweaks
#
manufacturer=IBM model = "ULTRIUM-TD1" {
can-bsr scsi2logical drive-buffering
timeout=800
long-timeout=14400
mode1 blocksize=0 density=0x00  # as close as possible to st.conf entry

Thanks in advance!
