This is completely weird. I have an LTO 4 scsi tape machine and fedora 12. I have been driven nuts trying to backup data to the tape. It fails after a few random minutes with a hardware error/target error in my messages log and an input/output error on the command line. If I omit the -v option it seems to be fine. I have spent 3 days trying to get it to work and finally tried ommiting the -v option based on a crazy observation. Can anybody explain why this might be or am I mad?
Works fine in Windows and it is a brand new Quantum half height B machine and new cartridges.
Many thanks
