I just upgrade the system from SunOS 3.5 to SunOS 4.0.3. At the same
time, our department bought an Artecon 8mm tape drive. Since the server
which is a 3/260 has no SCSI port, I connect the tape drive to one of its
clients which is a 3/50. So all dumps are remote. Here comes the odd
things. I can dump the files and there is no error reported. But I can
only read some of the file systems. After trying a lot of experiments, I
find that one of the disk partitions gives me problem, I cannot read any
file system after that file system. I even tried to re-format the disk,
which is a SMD disk and the result is still the same. I have no idea of
what is going wrong. Here is the error message appearing on the console
of that client when I try to read that file system:
st0: failed cmd = 11 1 0 0 2 0
st0 error: sense key(0x9): vendor unique
sense = 70 0 9 0 ff ff ff 12 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 40 0 0 1f b7 e9 0 0
st0: failed cmd = 11 1 0 0 1 0
st0 error: sense key(0x9): vendor unique
sense = 70 0 9 0 ff ff ff 12 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 40 0 0 1f b8 c 0 0
st0: file positioning error
What does "vendor unique" mean? Does anyone has a similar problem?
