Error after backup or recovery

[razvannw]

The following error appear several time in my linux log:
st2: Failed to read 65536 byte block with 32768 byte read.
st2: Failed to read 65536 byte block with 32768 byte read.
st2: Failed to read 65536 byte block with 32768 byte read.
st2: Failed to read 65536 byte block with 32768 byte read.
st2: Failed to read 65536 byte block with 32768 byte read.
st1: Failed to read 65536 byte block with 32768 byte read.
I think the tape is write with variable block size, but I’m not very sure.
Please help

The tape drive can use variable block sizes but it will adopt to the block size found in the label.

Can it be that you got tapes from a storage node where another block size was used?

 

[razvannw]

The tape are new, and label on the NW server.
I think the problem is generated because I don't use the vedor drivers for the tape library, I use native Linux.

That should not affect the drives at all. And NW will definitively work with the OS drivers.

Try to use a jbox device as standalone and see what happens then.
