Errors with taper 6.9
I just installed taper version 6.9. It seems to backup several MB, then
seeks for a few minutes, followed by an error message:
Input/output error while writing to tape
Retry immediately repeats the error message. Aborting shows a seg fault.
I tried reformatting the tape and using a new tape, but get the same
error.
System: Pentium 150 running slink, kernel 2.0.35, ftape-3.04d, Ditto 3200
tape drive with Dash accelerator card.
I remember having problems with taper in bo as well (the rex version
worked fine). I used tob for backups in bo and this also worked in hamm,
but I get an afio error with slink (see my previous message), so tried
using taper again.
Has anyone else had backup problems with slink?
Bob
