Hello Ryan, is it still a problem with mt-st-0.8? (available rawhide) Jindrich |
Description of problem: After initializing the tape device with stinit, 'mt status' correctly reports the tape density. A second invocation of 'mt status', however, reports the wrong density. mt will not correctly report the tape density until stinit is run again. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mt-st v. 0.7 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run stinit 2. Run mt status 3. Run mt status Actual results: The second invocation reports a density that is different from the first invocation. Expected results: Querying the tape device should not unset the tape density. Additional info: $ cat /etc/stinit.def # mode1 /dev/st0 "high density" # mode2 /dev/st0l "low density" # mode3 /dev/st0m "medium density" # mode4 /dev/st0a "auto-seeking density" # HP DDS4 manufacturer="HP" model="C5683A" { scsi2logical=1 can-bsr can-partitions auto-lock density=0x26 mode1 blocksize=0 compression=1 mode2 blocksize=10240 compression=0 mode3 blocksize=0 compression=1 mode4 blocksize=10240 compression=1 } root@scf:/etc# stinit Initialized 1 tape device. root@scf:/etc# dmesg|tail st0: Default block size set to 0 bytes. st0: Density default set to 26 st0: Compression default set to 1 st0: Mode 3 options: buffer writes: 1, async writes: 1, read ahead: 1 st0: can bsr: 1, two FMs: 0, fast mteom: 0, auto lock: 1, st0: defs for wr: 0, no block limits: 0, partitions: 1, s2 log: 1 st0: sysv: 0 nowait: 0 st0: Default block size set to 10240 bytes. st0: Density default set to 26 st0: Compression default set to 1 root@scf-pc11:/etc# mt -f /dev/st0 status SCSI 2 tape drive: File number=0, block number=0, partition=0.
