[Bacula-users] Compaq SCSI tape drive, doesn't work as expected.

[J. E. <j.e...@el...>]

Hi,

i have a Compaq SCSI Tape on a Adaptec AIC-7892A SCSI controller.

If i issue a mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind the command quits without a message,
mt -f /dev/nst0 weof does the same.

Now my problem, if i hit mt -f /dev/nst0 eject, the drive gets stuck,
and the led's are flashing.

lsscsi tells me:

[12:0:6:0]   tape    COMPAQ   SDT-10000        1.16  /dev/st0

system is a ubuntu 10.04 lts server x64.

what's wrong, is my drive faulty?

cheers
