I can't initiate tar or mt for a tape device on a remote host. Anyone
an idea of what's going wrong ?
pc1 has a tape attached on /dev/nst0
tar & mt command works fine.
From pc2 I can't access the tape device
tar -cvf pc1:/dev/nst0 /home
result :
tar : pc1\:/dev/nst0: Cannot open: Input/output error
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
mt -f pc1:/dev/nst0 status
result :
Segmentation fault
But this command works : rsh pc1 'mt -f /dev/nst0 status' or rexec pc1 'mt -f /dev/nst0 status'. Also dump -f pc1:/dev/nst0 /home works.
I'm using SuSE 7.3
Thanks for your help.
