- I get that too - I haven't a clue what's wrong.
-
- BTW - what are the correct mknod settings for a 250Mb drive?
-
- The 150 meg settings gave me a 'density minor bits have changed' error -
- have you seen this? I made /dev/tape with mknod /dev/tape c 12 16,
- and the error went away - but I don't know if it's right or not.
-
- It also sounds suspiciously like my tape controller is dead. Dammit!
-
- Cheers,
