I recently purchased for a 4 Gig dat take unit. When I use tar on
it seen to hang after about 1 - 3 minutes. Does anyone have an
explanation. I have noticied that some wrote to use the bsd mt
program with the command mt -f /dev/st0 setblk 512 but this didi
not seem to help. If this problem is just a matter of upgrading
it would be nice I am posed to move to salckware 2.3 and elf!
Thanks for any help you can give me.
1. HELP me please: my SCSI tape hangs up my computer
Last hope: why the store on a SCSI tape hangs up my machine ?
Dear ALL,
do not give to be lost!
I have to set up automatic backup from W'95 and W'98 machines on a
tape on my Linux box. SAMBA package works very well - simply charm - I
can read all my Windoz machines. My problem is: while I'm trying to
write down something on a tape, my computer hungs up very thoroughly
after writing some files -- only button reset put it out from this
thoughtfulness ! Just keys Sh-PgUp and Sh-PgDn work.
But I still can read the tape ...
What I have:
(1) linux 2.0.34, distribution Slackware 3.3.5
(2) storage device is the tape (8 G) which is connected through the
SCSI adapter,
(3) recordable CD (ATAPI, for working with it through "cdrecord", I
have set up SCSI emulation)
That speaks "dmesg":

CDR works correctly; "tar" and "dd" hang up my computer; "mt"
(retension, status and other movings) is carried out correctly.
Who knows why ? And what is the reason ? I shall be grateful for any
helps !
If I change SCSI ID for the tape It will help me ?
P.S. The same device works under Windoz'98 ... Tell me whether it's the
reason to work under Windoz ?!... :-(
P.P.S. Even with SCSI emulation disabled any command that writes to
tape hangs up my computer after writing some files.
