mt: /dev/nst0: Input/output error
Hope someone can help here...
I've been testing out Arkeia as a backup system (it's free for small
configurations - server plus two clients - now). I've got a SCSI
DLT4000 (Quantum).
I think my problem happened when a cron job tried to write to the
tape at the same time as I was playing with Arkeia. Now I get:
ns1:~> sudo mt -f /dev/nst0 status
mt: /dev/nst0: Input/output error
The machine is remote so I've tried a soft reboot but to no avail. I
don't think it's Arkeia's fault because it happened once before and a
poer down reboot did the trick. Is there any way I can clear the
fault without physically visiting the machine? I've searched the WWW
and, while there are quite a few reports of people havign similar
problems, there doesn't seem to be any workable solutions.
Thanks in advance.
