Hi,
What is the correct procedure/command for ejecting tapes ?
I have a single tape drive so I think that "tpchanger" does not need to be
configured.
However, the "eject" command returns :
eject: unable to eject, last error: Input/output error
"eject" is to eject CD's, (at least in my knowledge).
Use "ammt -f /dev/your/tape rewoffl", or
simply "mt -f /dev/your/tape rewoffl".
Also when I put the next tape in and try to do an "amlabel" I get the error
message :
amlabel: tape_rewind: rewinding tape: /dev/nst0: Input/output error
Maybe because you are too fast? Wait for the leds to stop
flickering.
