Hi All,
Had an issue with a lto drive connected to networker - was replaced, now tapes
labled on the old drive have issues due to the block sizes differences with
certian lto firmwares.
I had blown the initial tape records via
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rmt/2 count=1000 bs=1024
and then the tapes i had been able to lable and mount ok,
Now i have a few tapes that are causing problems and will not mount/lable,
if i try to dd
dd: /dev/rmt/2: open: Permission denied
i try a manual erase
/dev/rmt/2: write protected or reserved.
mt -f /dev/rmt/2 release
mt -f /dev/rmt/2 erase
/dev/rmt/2: write protected or reserved.
The protect tab is not closed !!!
any suggestions ?
Thanks
laurence
