- Hi,
-
- I'm having trouble writing to a DAT on a TLZ04 drive. dd, cp and tar keep
- trying to write, yielding no error messages till one kills the process
- out of impatience. dump fails with the error message:
-
- iofail 5 28674
-
- I have been unable to determine what causes the problem. Read operations
- do not give any trouble. The tape drive head has been cleaned. I would
- appreciate any help.
-
- Thanks
-
- -Roy
