- I have a problem with QIC-150/24 tapes
-
- The tapes I have are Sony QD-6150 150MB tapes. The tapes were written
- on a WangTek QIC-150 driver a few months ago. Last week, I copied
- some files from another site with a QIC-24 driver on these tapes.
- When I tried again to write the tapes on QIC-150 driver, the driver
- kept saying that "write: I/O error":
-
- > mt -f /dev/rst0 status
- Wangtek QIC-150 tape drive:
- sense key(0x5)= illegal request residual= 1 retries= 0
- file no= 0 block no= 0
-
- I guess that the tape driver thought the tape is a QIC-24 tape and
- cannot be written.
-
- Is there any way I can make the tape to be 150MB tapes again?
-
- Thanks,
- -Ning
