Right. It's not: CONFIG_CHR_DEV_ST=y See arch/parisc/debian-configs/* for default configs. > st0: Error on write filemark. > st0: Error with sense data: Current st09:00: sns = 70 4 > ASC=44 ASCQ= 0 > Raw sense data:0x70 0x00 0x04 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x12 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x > 44 > 0x00 0x00 0x00 0xa3 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 > tar: /dev/st0: Warning: Cannot close: Input/output error Seagate (and other vendors) publishes the subset of SCSI spec they implement. It includes Sense Key/ASC/ASCQ encodings. Look for "scsi2_seagate.pdf" on www.seagate.com web site. Sense Key = 0x04 == "Hardware Error" ASC/ASCQ = 0x44/0 == "Internal Target Failure" You need to find the programming manual for your tape device and hopefully it explains exactly what this means. grant
