Re: mondo / HP Ultrium 960

Hello,

Thank you very much for your reply, and sharing some of your past
experiences / lessons learned.

That was indeed a bit silly of me. I've just bought this tape drive,
still have to get used to it a little. It does work though, because
I've already been able to make backups using bacula and/or tar.

But I only changed this blocksize value, after the 0 setting did not
work. So I've attached two more log files now, one with blocksize 0,
and the other one with blocksize 32768. I've also pressed enter a few
times when the dialogue box came up, requesting a new volume. But as
you will see, it is the same problem repeating.

This error is obviously the cause, after which the Sigpipe is thrown:

buffer (writer): write of data failed: Input/output error

It might well be me, doing something stupid here, because of my
inexperience with tape drives. Fortunately though, this one doesn't
run on steam ;-)

If this tool will work for me, I will be more than happy to donate to
your project, also because I can get direct support from the author
that way, in case of future issues. And off course also because I
really like what this tool can do.

Thanks again for your time.

Re: mondo / HP Ultrium 960

Hello again,

After reinstalling my OS, I am now creating the backup to tape! So it
was, as expected, me doing something stupid last time round.

Unfortunately I cannot tell you what it was, because I don't know. So
I am still as stupid as I was before ;-)

Sorry to have bothered you people with my user errors.

I can't wait to try the restore now, thank you very much for this great product.

Kind Regards,
Remco.
