[OpenAFS] Running backup to an old Colorado Travan tape.

[Ken Aaker]

This probably falls in the category of "well don't do that", but I 
thought I'd ask anyway.

I have an OpenAFS system at work, and one at home that I do my 
exploration work on. The system at work has a proper tape drive that I 
run backup to. But the systems at home, (being an "accumulation of junk 
hardware"(tm)), has an old HP Colorado 8GB IDE tape drive. I have the 
drive set up to be used through ide-scsi, so it shows up as /dev/st0.

/dev/st0 works file for tar creation and extraction, but backup doesn't 
even get started. As soon as backup starts using the drive, the system 
starts logging timeout's. If I try to label a tape, the timed out 
commands are Read TOC, Prevent/Allow Medium Removal, and Read Capacity. 
And then I get to reboot, to clear the errors.
