Well I have just added new tape drive to my server (lto)
However I am getting few errors in using it. I have checked status with
#iostat -En : giving me few hard errors, few soft errors and execution error.
Also tape status is not visible as "
no sense" its coming as "
no additional sense".
I need to know how to rectify it. What to do in case of hard, soft errors.
Also, when I am using the tape, only one time stored data is accessible and new data is just replacing the older one. I have even used fsf and norewind options, but in vain.
Suggestions : most welcome.
I have got few screenshots to give more idea of this situation.
