tape from Linux -> SunOS, more info




Hi,
Here is some more info per your questions:

>Ron Cohen:
>What is the name of the device that you used on the Sun?

The device on the Sun was /dev/rst1 (On my Linux it is /dev/st0)

>Ira Abramov:
>some info is missing... is data backed on the sun being retrieved 
>correctly at the linux?

I did not try that yet.

>did you try switching tapes and trying the same?

No, but the tape I used was a brand new (out of the wrapper) 3M.
As I mentioned, I could raed it back on the Linux.
Also, in my two trials, the reading process got stuck at quite different
points on the tape.

>was the message a SCSI fail message or specifically of the tape mechanism?

tape mechanism, I guess: "premature EOF".  Actually this is not a tape
mechanism message, it just means that an EOF was encountered.
