That is usually the case.

However..

Something else you can try as well, try different tape drives, with older (at least) LTO-2 drives, sometimes they are calibrated slightly differently and one drive can read a tape that another cannot.

If this tape drive works fine for other media, then its most likely a bad

then your media is most likely bad.

Hello,

NB: 6,5, Solaris 10 (SPARC), I was trying to import a catalog from L9 library 
and I came across this error:

Error bptm (pid=8884) ioctl (MTFSF) failed on media id A00000, drive index 0, 
I/O error (tmisc.c.1541)

Error bpimport (pid=8876) Status = media position error.

Any idea on how to overcome thosi ?

thanks,

fabio
