Suddenly, when trying to label/recycle tapes with NSR 4.4 the
operation (on a TZ07L DAT loader) starts failing with error code 0 (as
in zero):
Fri 20:10:04 /dev/nrmt0h verify label operation in progress
Fri 20:10:04 media warning: /dev/nrmt0h reading: Error 0 occurred.
Fri 20:10:04 /dev/nrmt0h no tape label found
Fri 20:10:06 /dev/nrmt0h label without mount operation in progress
Fri 20:10:44 /dev/nrmt0h Error 0 occurred.
The same error comes up on inventories and mount attempts.
Being more than just a tad tired with that DAT anyway, I went right on
installing the brand new TZ887 instead. With that one i still get the
error message but the actions succeed anyway (such as labeling and
mounting).
That being fine with me I lent back and proceeded happeling labeling
DLT tapes when upon loading the third tape being hit with a seemingly
unrecoverable "Loader Fault". Close inspection of the drive unit
reveals something that looks like 5 cm of torn off DLT tape inside the
drive reel (the transparent one).
Being back at square one and in desperate need of making some backups
i come to you, ladies and gentlemen, looking for hints:
1. How to solve the "error 0" condition. To me, an error code of zer
means "no error". What does it mean to networker? Strange thing is
that I haven't even seen this before and _I_ haven't modifed the
system.
Thank you for your time,
/Erik
