Hi everybody,

I have a DLT8000 which won't unmount the tape that is currently loaded.

According to the OS there is no tape mounted:-

$ mt -f /dev/rmt/0 status
/dev/rmt/0: no tape loaded or drive offline

I have the following error in /var/adm/messages

WARNING: /pci@1f,4000/scsi@3,1/st@4,0 (st11):
Error for Command: write Error Level: Fatal
Requested Block: 716224 Error Block: 716224
Vendor: QUANTUM Serial Number: P "
Sense Key: Media Error
ASC: 0xc (write error), ASCQ: 0x0, FRU: 0x0

It looks like the backup last night filled the tape.

Any ideas, or should the drive be replaced?

Thanks in advance, will summarize the responses.

Kevin
