Networker 7.2.2 on SLES 9 ?
Hi,
It works except from the fact that you have a 2 min
access delay to any EMPTY tape drive. This comes
from the fact that the tape driver in Linux 2.6 has
changed the interface slightly. You can patch the driver
to avoid this if you want to or just live with the fact.
Finally I have found someone who knows about this problem that I have
seen. I would have guessed that it was longer than 2 minutes, but it's
probably the phenomenon about a watched kettle.
My system is running Gentoo Linux with an up-to-date kernel (I hesitate
to call it bleeding edge since 2.6 is after all a production kernel
series). Dan can you please give me a pointer on how to patch this to
avoid the problem?
