I have recently updated my FC3 kernel from 2.6.9-1.667 to
2.6.10-1.766_FC3. The system has had all available updates applied. I
am using a Seagate STT8000A ATAPI tape drive for backup. I am loading
the ide-scsi module. Prior to the update, tar and dump both worked
without any problems using this tape drive.
Since the kernel update, tar and dump appear to write the files to the
tape drive: no error messages are generated during the write and the
tape is positioned at the correct block following the write. However, I
am not able to restore any of the backup files to the hard disk.
I have still not been able to resolve this problem.
Is there anyone on the list that has successfully restored files to a
hard disk from a tape backup created with tar or dump using an ide tape
drive with any of the 2.6.10 kernels?
