Error: Failed to load the cartridge (ltfs_load_tape) on v2.4-stable with HP HH Ultrium 6-SCSI + QLogic Corp. ISP2532 HBA #444

Hello,

I recently compiled ltfs v2.4-stable an debian 11 (worked as described for debian 10) but could not use or format a tape drive with the ltfs tools. I always get the same error on debian (using it on debian 11 & 12).

When I put in a new cartridge in one of my HP drives

ltfs -o device_list 2aa29f LTFS14000I LTFS starting, LTFS version 2.4.5.1 (Prelim), log level 2. 2aa29f LTFS14058I LTFS Format Specification version 2.4.0. 2aa29f LTFS14104I Launched by "ltfs -o device_list". 2aa29f LTFS14105I This binary is built for Linux (x86_64). 2aa29f LTFS14106I GCC version is 12.2.0. 2aa29f LTFS17087I Kernel version: Linux version 6.1.0-18-amd64 (debian-kernel@lists.debian.org) (gcc-12 (Debian 12.2.0-14) 12.2.0, GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Debian) 2.40) #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.1.76-1 (2024-02-01) i386. 2aa29f LTFS17089I Distribution: PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)". 2aa29f LTFS17085I Plugin: Loading "sg" tape backend.

I could not format or access it, probably due to the following errors:

Interestingly, all works well when I compile and use this hp build version here ... https://github.com/leavelet/ltfs-hp. Formating and mounting the cartridge works well in the hp version, but another driver seems to be used instead of "sg", it is a "ltotape" driver. I have tried lintape driver, I have changed dio to 1, I have compiled with "buggy ifs" but I cant get rid of this error.

My HBA is an Fibre Channel: QLogic Corp. ISP2532-based 8Gb Fibre Channel to PCI Express HBA (rev 02) that should be well supported I think. The cartridge I'm using is an original HPE ultrium-6 one.

I'm not sure if my HP drive, or the tape are supported at this moment by this ltfs distro, but maybe someone can clearify ? Looking for any suggestion or advice :)

I think this is already reported in #241 and fixed on the master branch with #248.

The fix is only available on the master.

You can see also #418.

Thank you piste-jp-ibm, for pointing this out. I did a search but did not know, what key to search the issues for, so I did not find the earlier issue.

As I prefer to stay on branch 2.4-stable due to the stability warnings for master, I solved the problem by cherry-picking your commit to the stable branch

git cherry-pick -n 3b5acac2736b4e6e1a2da30cfbdfa87de3884c70

So I could compile stable version 2.4 with support for HP HH LTO6 drives on my debian 11 / 12 and can confirm that ltfs and mkltfs work fine.

Maybe it could be helpful, to backport this feature to the stable 2.4 branch.

@piste-jp-ibm @rocksit

I had the same issue with 2.4 stable. I can confirm the master branch solved the issue for me.

LTFS30207I Vendor ID is HP . LTFS30208I Product ID is Ultrium 6-SCSI . LTFS30214I Firmware revision is 357B.

Additionally I can confirm it works flawless with Debain Bookworm 12.
