[ILUG] 2.2.19 & C1537A HP Tape drive

[John Ronan]

Evening,
I've got a maddening problem with this drive. Once I figured out that I
had to keep the blocksizes small <16K, I thought I had it working, but I
did a small backup or a tar.gz, then did a restore.

md5sum /root/openssh-2.9p2.tar.gz
fb5ea44cb5a894bed7b610c5a517542d  /root/openssh-2.9p2.tar.gz
root at elvis:/tmp/j0n > md5sum openssh-2.9p2.tar.gz
7ba6c916e4cb3dfe2f1e029e8fe06f0f  openssh-2.9p2.tar.gz

No errors messages, or anything, Kernel version is 2.2.19

It's the only device on the controller and it is terminated.

Any ideas anyone, what am I missing?

Regards
John
