Hello All My friend has been having trouble with their tape drive - ditto 2 gb internal. I was suspecting that his machine may have some hardware conflict issues so I took the tape drive home, installed ftape-util from debian woody and tried to use the drive. I retensioned the tape and then tried to get a list of the files on the tape cassette: $tar -tzvf /dev/nqft0 I did get some output but after 3 hours it had still not finished. I finally killed the tar process inorder to stop it. Almost all the time that it was running it was outputing the error messages like the following: Jul 28 15:32:15 Cuckoo-2 kernel: [059] ftape-read.c (correct_and_copy_fraction) - ecc corrected segment: 3877. Any clues as to what this error message means? Is the drive destined for the rubbish bin or is there something I or my friend can do to get it working properly? Trouble- shooting tips would also be very welcome. I include much of my /var/log/messages below if anyone is interested. Thanx in advance!!!
