Cannot format tape on Tandberg LTO-6 HH drive #365

Closed simonwaid closed 1 year ago

simonwaid commented 1 year ago

Dear all,

I'd like to use ltfs with a Tandberg LTO-6 HH drive (which I think was actually made by HP, at least guessing from how it looks like). I was trying to format the tape using the following command: sudo mkltfs -d /dev/st0

Unfortunately, I got the following error message:

LTFS15049I Checking the medium (mount).
LTFS30205I LOCATE (0x92) returns -20802.
LTFS30263I LOCATE returns End-of-Data (EOD) not found (-20802) /dev/st0.
LTFS12037E Cannot seek: backend call failed (-20802).
LTFS11006E Cannot read volume: failed to load the tape.
LTFS30205I MODESELECT (0x55) returns -20500.
LTFS30263I MODESELECT returns Invalid Field in Parameter List (-20500) /dev/st0.
LTFS15023I Formatting failed.

The messages say nothing to me, help would be appreciated.

Please see the Quick Start page.

You need to specify the device name or drive serial which is listed by ltfs -o device_list.

Thanks, and sorry for my stupidity.

Formatting now seems to work, but the file system is not mounted. Not sure if I should close this issue and open another one or if I'm again just too stupid to read the documentation properly.

I should note that the drive I have is actually HP made. Tandberg Data sold both rebranded IBM and HP drives. Not sure if this is useful, but what might work on one Tandberg drive might fail on another, if it's from a different manufacturer.

piste-jp commented 1 year ago

It looks your HBA have a funny behavior. Try the --enable-buggy-ifs option in the configure script. -> https://github.com/LinearTapeFileSystem/ltfs/wiki/HBA-info#note-for-buggy-hbas

Also you can refer the issues below.

Thanks! a lot for the help! That brought me further, but mounting still fails. I'll buy a new HBA. For anyone finding this: The HBA which is not working is a LSI SAS8888ELP.

Here are the outputs I got after compiling with --enable-buggy-ifs
