AW: [SunHELP] SCSI-Error? "Variable record length I/O"

[Ballweg, Christian]

Hi Sean,

yes, I modified the st.conf.
These are all of my settings:

tape-config-list=3D"QUANTUM DLT8000",     "Tandberg 80 GB DLT-Drive",
"TAND-80G-DLT";
TAND-80G-DLT    =3D       1,0x38,0,0x8639,4,0x84,0x85,0x88,0x89,3;
name=3D"st" class=3D"scsi"
        target=3D0 lun=3D0;
name=3D"st" class=3D"scsi"
        target=3D1 lun=3D0;
name=3D"st" class=3D"scsi"
        target=3D2 lun=3D0;
name=3D"st" class=3D"scsi"
        target=3D3 lun=3D0;
name=3D"st" class=3D"scsi"
        target=3D4 lun=3D0;
name=3D"st" class=3D"scsi"
        target=3D5 lun=3D0;
name=3D"st" class=3D"scsi"
        target=3D6 lun=3D0;

The Informations are the ones from Tandberg for this special drive (or =
I
hope they are ;-).
I'm really not quite sure if this message really means an error because
there is no "error" or "warning" appearing in the text.
Is it possible that this is just informational?

Anyway - many thanks! I appreciate every answer to this.

Regards,
Chris
