I am trying to read from a DLT4000 tape. The device is found and mt can talk to it. But if I try a dd I get:
dd if=/dev/st0 of=/tmp/tape.out bs=16k dd: reading `/dev/st0': Cannot allocate memory 0+0 records in 0+0 records out
If I try to cat the device, still get the "Cannot allocate memory"
cat /dev/st0 > /tmp/tt cat: /dev/st0: Cannot allocate memory
Tried the same on an older kernel (2.4.8-ac7) and it worked. Also the latest Redhat one works (2.4.3).
Is this a known problem? Or can I give someone more diagnostic information?
Thanks, Ian...
