Hi, I recently picked up a used Archive Viper 150 tape drive to replace an old Wangtek 5099ES. I am using the SCSI controller on the PAS-16D. I am getting an error message whenever I use tar to backup some files with the Archive drive: eg: if I type "tar -cvf /dev/rst0 file1 file2 ... " The kernel responds with: "/kernel: nca0/5/0 data length underflow" (When I restore the files they are corrupted.) Does anybody know what this error message means? This never occurs when I use the Wangtek 5099ES, only with the Archive drive. Do I need to configure the device somehow to use a different recording density? (ie does it matter that the Arhive is QIC-150 while the Wangtek was QIC-24?) Could the drive be faulty? Any help would be appreciated. -- David Kwan Email: davidk@ee.ubc.ca Graduate Studies (M.A.Sc Program) Electrical Engineering The University of British Columbia Vancouver B.C. Canada
