[Networker] Labelled write protected tape
2010-09-01 05:20:04
A colleage accidentally labelled a physically write protected tape which I have
loaded for a restore. The tape now shows 0% utilised. Scanning the tape will
come up with an "fn 2 rn 0 read error More data is available" error.
I tried scanner -f 3 it didn't work, neither did -f 4 -f 5 etc.
Correct me if I'm wrong but it doesn't appear like a block size issue as the
tape block size is 128k and the device maximum block size exceeds that. I
would
like to believe that the data is still in there because the tape is physically
write protected.
\\.\Tape0:
Media Capacity = 37.25GByte
Media Remaining = 28.65GByte
Media Blocksize = 0
Media Partition Count = 1
Media is not write protected
default blocksize = 65536
maximum blocksize = 524288
minimum blocksize = 1
MaximumPartitionCount = 1
Partition = 0
...
Thanks!
