I've started getting an error from my tape device. It's a used drive I just got from a friend, and it worked several times. The tape media is new (wel, ok, I've done something like 3 backups on each tape, but its still under a month old). This happens with both of my tapes. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what the problem might be, or how to cure it? Here's all the info that seems pertainant: FreeBSD 4.4-STABLE #15: Mon Oct 29 18:48:29 CST 2001 sa0 at ahc0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 sa0: <ARCHIVE Python 28388-XXX 4.98> Removable Sequential Access SCSI-2 device sa0: 5.000MB/s transfers (5.000MHz, offset 15) (sa0:ahc0:0:0:0): WRITE(06).
