Same problem. Tried with another tape (even with an old DDS-2 tape). Same. Even tried another cable/removing the CDWR drive from the bus. It seems that the tape is written incorrectly. I wrote some large file (300MB) and read it back four time. The read copies are all the same. They differ from the original only in 32 consecutive bytes (the replaced values SEEM random). Of course, 32 bytes in 300MB tar.gz files are TOO MUCH to be accepted :) Now I'll build some old 2.2 kernel to try... -- Lorenzo Marcantonio - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
