| Subject: | mt and tar fail on LTO-5 drives |
Hello People, I have here two SAS connected LTO-5 drives: one IBM and one HP. Both drives work work fine, but sadly mt does not. The size reported by mt is a meager 35 GB, instead of the expected 1.5TB I have tried both an older 32 bit and the 'current' 64 bit cygwin: same result. Writing to tape works fine with tar, but the tape is quickly considered 'full'. Is there any hope of fixing this? LTO-6 is already out there. Thanks - Bartels # IBM ULT3580+HH5 SCSI $ mt -f /dev/nst0 status 3 drive type : 56 (STK 9840) tape capacity : 37108736 KB remaining : 37093376 KB current file : 0 active partition : 0 current block : 0 cur logical block: 0 General status bits on (410b8000): BOT ONLINE IM_REP_EN CLN HW_ECC HW_COMP min block size : 1 max block size : 1048576 def block size : 65536 cur block size : 0 density code : 58 (unknown) Drive(r) Capabilities: ---------------------- fixed length blocks : yes var length blocks : yes set block size : yes fixed partitioning : no select partitioning : no initiator partitioning : no get logical blockno : yes logical block spacing : yes get absolute blockno : yes absolute block spacing : yes logical block immediate : no absolute block immediate : no relative block spacing : yes backward spacing : yes immediate rewind : yes fast EOM spacing : yes immediate spacing : no write marks immediate : yes filemark spacing : yes write filemarks : yes write long filemarks : no write short filemarks : no report setmarks : no setmark spacing : no write setmarks : no set report setmarks : no sequential filemarks : no sequential setmarks : no load and unload : yes un/load immediate : yes lock and unlock : yes un/lock immediate : no tape retension : no retension immediate : no erase on bop only : no erase immediately : yes long erase : yes short erase : yes sw ejects media : no report write protection : yes report EOT warn size : no set EOT warn size : no data padding : no set data padding : no returns capacity : yes returns remaining : yes hw error correction : no set hw error correction : no hw compression : yes set compression : yes set comp. on bop only : no report cleaning request : yes # HP Ultrium-5 $ mt -f /dev/nst0 status 3 drive type : 56 (STK 9840) tape capacity : 37351424 KB remaining : 37351424 KB current file : 0 active partition : 0 current block : 0 cur logical block: 0 General status bits on (410b0000): BOT ONLINE IM_REP_EN HW_ECC HW_COMP min block size : 2 max block size : 65536 def block size : 65536 cur block size : 0 density code : 58 (unknown) Drive(r) Capabilities: ---------------------- fixed length blocks : yes var length blocks : yes set block size : yes fixed partitioning : yes select partitioning : yes initiator partitioning : yes get logical blockno : yes logical block spacing : yes get absolute blockno : yes absolute block spacing : yes logical block immediate : yes absolute block immediate : yes relative block spacing : yes backward spacing : yes immediate rewind : yes fast EOM spacing : yes immediate spacing : no write marks immediate : yes filemark spacing : yes write filemarks : yes write long filemarks : no write short filemarks : no report setmarks : no setmark spacing : no write setmarks : no set report setmarks : no sequential filemarks : no sequential setmarks : no load and unload : yes un/load immediate : yes lock and unlock : yes un/lock immediate : no tape retension : no retension immediate : no erase on bop only : no erase immediately : yes long erase : yes short erase : yes sw ejects media : yes report write protection : yes report EOT warn size : no set EOT warn size : no data padding : no set data padding : no returns capacity : yes returns remaining : yes hw error correction : yes set hw error correction : no hw compression : yes set compression : yes set comp. on bop only : no report cleaning request : no -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
