Hi guys,
I am trying to read QIC 80 tapes with a SCSI2 TapeStore 8000R from Seagate.
This works almost fine, but as soon as I put anything besides Travan 4 tapes
into the streamer I get this one
st0: Error with sense data: extra data not valid Current error st09:00:
sense key Illegal Request
Additional sense indicates Invalid field in cdb
I am not sure why. (I _am_ able to read the tapes though, but it is
polluting the syslog) I am using a NCR 53c810 (rev 2).
The next problem I am seeing may be related to this one:
With the QIC 80 tapes, I am having trouble which might be related to the
fact that they have been formatted and used on a floppy streamer using
Conner software & hardware. This one has a known bug which the ftape driver
corrects for (see /usr/src/linux/drivers/char/ftape/ftape-read.c, /Conner/).
I am not sure how to correct for this using a SCSI streamer.
I am grateful for any insight you can provide.
Please CC replies to me personally too, since it might take a while for vger
to process my subscription request. ;-)
