I have finally got my HP 5GB external tape drive installed and almost
working after having to upgrade my kernel etc. etc.
Anyone else have a working HP 5GB external ?
I have installed it using the loadable kernel modules (rather than compiling
it in the kernel).
Here is the messages I get when I load the modules (dmesg):
--- paride: version 1.04 installed paride: epat registered as protocol 0 pt: pt version 1.04, major 96 pt0: Sharing parport0 at 0x378 pt0: epat 1.01, Shuttle EPAT chip c6 at 0x378, mode 5 (EPP-32), delay 1 pt0: HP COLORADO 5GBe, master, blocksize 512, 2458 MB---I then tested writing to it with: > tar -cvf /dev/pt0 /home
The drive ran for some time (I had some large files), and all seemed to work fine.
I then tried to verify the back up with: > tar --compare --verbose -f /dev/pt0
It went along fine for a bit, but then died. The following messages were in the dmesg: ---- pt0: identify completion: alt=0x51 stat=0x51 err=0x0 loop=0 phase=3 pt0: identify data done: alt=0x51 stat=0x51 err=0x0 loop=0 phase=3 pt0: Sense key: 3, ASC: 15, ASQ: 2 ----
Playing around with it some more, I issued a few commands, all of wich fail at some point. Here is the rest of the messages from dmesg:
--- pt0: HP COLORADO 5GBe, master, blocksize 512, 2458 MB pt0: identify completion: alt=0x51 stat=0x51 err=0x0 loop=0 phase=3 pt0: identify data done: alt=0x51 stat=0x51 err=0x0 loop=0 phase=3 pt0: Sense key: 3, ASC: 15, ASQ: 2 pt0: HP COLORADO 5GBe, master, blocksize 512, 2458 MB pt0: HP COLORADO 5GBe, master, blocksize 512, 2458 MB pt0: Unimplemented ioctl 0x801c6d02 pt0: HP COLORADO 5GBe, master, blocksize 512, 2458 MB pt0: write DSC timeout pt0: Sense key: 0, ASC: 0, ASQ: 0 pt0: write filemark DSC timeout pt0: Request sense before command: alt=0xc0 stat=0xc0 err=0x1c0 loop=600001 phase=192 pt0: rewind before command: alt=0xc0 stat=0xc0 err=0x1c0 loop=600001 phase=192 pt0: Request sense before command: alt=0xc0 stat=0xc0 err=0x1c0 loop=600001 phase=192---I notice someone else on this list had a very similar problem a while back, but go no suggestions or help (according to the archive).
Does anyone now have any idea's? Anyone else have a working HP 5GB external ?
Thanks,
