I have a Tekram DC395U SCSI Adapter and a Seagate DAT DDS-4 06240-XXX 8040. When I attempt to write a tape block identifier to the first block I get an i/o error. mt: /dev/nsa0: Input/output error or sometimes mt: /dev/nsa0: Device not configured And the same when I attempt to mt fsf 1 Running tar cf /dev/rsa0 (sa0:tekram_trm0:0:2:0): unable to set fixed blocksize to 1024 (sa0:tekram_trm0:0:2:0): failed to write terminating filemark(s) (sa0:tekram_trm0:0:2:0): tape is now frozen- use an OFFLINE, REWIND or MTEOM command to clear this state. It seems to write a couple of blocks of data and then exits with a broken pipe and fails. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks, D -- Derrick T. Woolworth, President R&D Associates, Inc.
