Subject: initio.c driver question? Can read but not write; Initio Corporation INI-950 SCSI Adapter (rev 02)
Date: Mon, 25 Jul 2011 21:05:08 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87hb69ua0r.fsf@cadence.glidepath.invalid> (raw)
I am having trouble writing to a scsi tape drive which is connected to
a startech PCISCSIUW card that uses the Initio Corporation INI-950
chipset. Using the 2.6.39.3 kernel, I can read from the scsi tape
drive successfully, but when I attempt to write, the write fails. I
am attempting to write as root to avoid permission problems. This
failure seems to be potentially a driver problem. The tape drive and
tapes have been tested earlier with a different box and were used to
generate the tapes which were successfully read.
The failures are as follows:
root@myhost:~# tar cvf /dev/st0 ~myaccount/
tar: Removing leading `/' from member names
/home/myaccount/
/home/myaccount/.netpanzer/
/home/myaccount/.netpanzer/log.txt

/home/myaccount/.Xauthority
/home/myaccount/.xsession-errors
tar: /dev/st0: Cannot write: Input/output error
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
The errors written to the /var/log/syslog are:

Not sure if anyone is supporting the driver. Thanks in advance for
any help or suggestions.
