Tape Drive is reporting Input / Output Error on any command?
Issue
- I have changed the Tape with good ones and again tried to copy but still the Error persist.
[root@localhost]# mt -f /dev/st0 status
SCSI 2 tape drive:
File number=0, block number=0, partition=0.
Tape block size 0 bytes. Density code 0x42 (LTO-2).
Soft error count since last status=0
General status bits on (41010000):
BOT ONLINE IM_REP_EN
- Do I need to change the block sizes with the mt command.
mt -f /dev/st0 setblk 0
- How do I interpret/understand the output of
mt -f /dev/st0 status
on RHEL?
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
