| |
I connected HP SureStore DAT tape 6000 to our Linux 2.0.29 machine and did some testing with and found out that it did work only a short time.
I started copying a gigabyte of data with command "tar cvf /dev/st0 *"
it copied about 100-300 Megabytes of stuff, then suddenly Xterm - where I had tar-command running disappeared completely and process disappeared.
After that I used mt-command "mt rewind" and "mt erase" Running "mt erase" for some 30 minutes, I tried to kill it but wasn't able to do that, kill -9 did not kill "mt erase" process.
I have 200 Mhz Pentium PRO
and other info is here from proc-filesystem
