I have the tape drive hooked-up and load the drivers to RedHat 7.1 with
these commands:
insmod parport
insmod paride
insmod epat
insmod pt
and this is what gets added to my dmesg:
paride: version 1.05 installed
paride: epat registered as protocol 0
pt: pt version 1.04, major 96
pt0: epat 1.01, Shuttle EPAT chip c6 at 0x378, mode 5 (EPP-32), delay 1
pt0: HP COLORADO 5GBe, master, RO, blocksize 512, 2458 MB
but when I try: tar -c -v -b64 -f /dev/pt0 /root/*
I get a partial file listing and then this error message:
tar: /dev/pt0: Wrote only 0 of 32768 bytes
tar: error is not recoverable: exiting now
What did I miss? I have been all over the docs and can't get this to work.
Thanks in Advance
Bill
