 | | | STT3401A Tape Drive Input/Output Error | STT3401A Tape Drive Input/Output Error 2006-06-12 - By Thom Paine
Back
I have a RHEL3 U7 server and we just installed a new tape drive in it.
It's the Seagate STT3401A tape drive and now amanda backup doesn't
seem to want to back up to it properly.
Any commands I try on the box gives me an input/output error. I've
googled and I found this snippet from the 2.6 kernel something or
other, and I was hoping that someone might know what it means.
/*
558 * Some drives (for example, Seagate STT3401A Travan) require a very long
559 * timeout, because they don't return an interrupt or clear their busy bit
560 * until after the command completes (even retension commands).
561 */
562#define IDETAPE_WAIT_CMD (900*HZ)
I'm not sure if that means that it was already compiled with the
longer wait time, or whether it needs to be. I'm wondering if I need
to roll my own kernel for this box with that adjustment?
Does anyone else have a Seagate STT3401A tape drive (the ide model)
that they are using with RHEL3 U7? Even using mt commands like mt -f
/dev/ht0 retension spits out the error.
Thanks.
