Flexbackup - new tape drive problem
« on: December 25, 2006, 11:06:51 AM »
I have replaced my DLT 3 tape drive with a new IBM DLT IV drive.  Ihave also put a Ultra 160 SCSI Card.
These appear to be working, but get an error when attempting a backup: buffer: cannot open output file: Read-only file system
The flexbackup log recognises the drive as DLT 20GB, it used to be DLT 10GB.
I have changed $blksize="32" to 64 in /etc/flexbackup.conf, then using flexbackup -test-tape-drive.  The test takes forever (at least 30 minutes of tape activity, I didn't notice any with $blksize="32") and the result for each of the three files is: EOF WR_PROT ONLINE IM_REP_EN
Is my problem in flexbackup.conf?  Is there some way to find out what the entries in it should be for a particular type of tape drive?
Thanks.
