Seagate Travan questions
I am using a Seagate Travan 10 GB uncompressed tape drive to backup a
file server, (on the same machine). Does anyone have problems with this
drive and/or the driver? Sometimes it will return with an I/O error and
a tape is in the drive. Another time it will work fine. Or it may say
the resource is busy even though no processes are using it. Also,
sometimes I try to stop the backup process because it is not doing
anything and the process won't die. I read that sometimes if a driver
gets an I/O error then the process can't be killed and only rebooting
the machine will get rid of the process. Is this untrue about not able
to kill a process? What about the tape drive though? It does seem to
respond better after a reboot. Has anyone had trouble with this drive
or driver?
