Problem Description
|
|
I can write onto the drive but can not read from it. You get error messages
like:
ide-tape: ht0: I/O error, pc = 1e, key = 5, asc = 20, ascq = 0
|
|
Cause
|
|
The device must be run in SCSI emulation mode. This is especially true under
SUSE 6.4.
|
|
Solution
|
|
You should hit the SUSE web site, search for the following document.
http://sdb.suse.de/sdb/en/html/mkrapp_colorado.html
This should correct the IDE tape problem on your SUSE 6.4 server.
