Can't do mkltfs on HP StorageWorks Trivium 3000 #336

Closed D13410N3 closed 2 years ago

D13410N3 commented 2 years ago

Hello.

I've compiled LTFS using manual in README on my Debian 11 Bullseye (Linux 5.13.19-2-pve #1 SMP PVE 5.13.19-4 (Mon, 29 Nov 2021 12:10:09 +0100) x86_64 GNU/Linux)

The device is HP StorageWorks Ultrium 3000 SAS, cartridges are Sony LTX1500G

ltfs -o device_list shows connected hardware:

885 LTFS14058I LTFS Format Specification version 2.4.0.

Maybe you have any ideas what's the problem? The cartridges & streamer are absolutely new

piste-jp commented 2 years ago

Hmm, it's interesting... Is this tape really brand new?

The mkltfs checks the tape was already formatted or not before formatting it. Normally, the mkltfs checks there are two partitions format and then tries to mount the tape for checking. There are two funny points in this case.

  1. The mkltfs didn't detect non-partitioned tape at all. Is this tape really brand new?
  2. The mkltfs tried to seek to the end of data but the drive returned an error End-of-Data (EOD) not found. This is clearly drive fault if this tape really brand new. It shall find a EOD at the beginning of the tape.

You can use --force option to skip the LTFS format check if it is sure you can erase everything of this tape.

Replaced /dev/sg* with device serial number and it could do mkltfs with --force. Thanks!

But now when I try to mount tape I'm getting another error:

I believe it is a known HBA issue. Need to recompile with --enable-buggy-ifs.

See #157 and https://github.com/LinearTapeFileSystem/ltfs/wiki/HBA-info#note-for-buggy-hbas.

D13410N3 commented 2 years ago

Recompiled. Thanks for your answer, it really helped!
