Message-Id: List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: linux-ia64@vger.kernel.org Hi I am trying to do some backups on an old exabyte 8505XL on my IA64 system running with redhat 7.2 My device is the only one device on the scsi chain. I have a terminator on this chain. I can write little files (tar cvf /dev/st0 /etc/passwd) but when I write large files (dump 0f /dev/st0 /dev/sda3) I get an error on the dump or tar command : DUMP: estimated 3323762 tape blocks. DUMP: Volume 1 started with block 1 at: Thu Oct 3 10:42:06 2002 DUMP: dumping (Pass III) [directories] DUMP: dumping (Pass IV) [regular files] DUMP: write error 49000 blocks into volume 1: Input/output error with on the log message files : kernel: st0: Error 27070000 (sugg. bt 0x20, driver bt 0x7, host bt 0x7) I encountered this problem on redhat 7.1 but the problem seems persisted in redhat 7.2 I looked for some informations about this error messages but all the documents I found where about the termination string, and all is ok Could you help me ? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated Thanks -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Jean-Philippe BATTU Phone : (33) 04 76 29 73 43 Localisation: B1/403 Fax : (33) 04 76 29 75 18 Mail : jean-philippe.battu@bull.net Bull, 01 Rue de Provence B.P. 208 38432 Echirolles FRANCE ---------------------------------------------------------------------
