Also, I forgot to mention that it also means that your existing tapes are probably okay and will be recoverable using ltfsck after you get the drivers restabilized.

Correct. The "open source" file is the source code and even I have problems compiling that hodge-podge of source (and I've been at this stuff since 1978 :bored: ).

You'll need to download the package from the HP site. I can't direct link because of the way their servers do links, but this is the top page that you'll use to get to the downloads:

HP LTFS...

No - I meant to do that with one of your questionable / bad tapes.

However ...



That is indicative of a bad LTFS driver installation. The specific error indicates that the ICU package...

I wish that you were an isolated case, but LTFS is giving a lot of people problems.

Here's how I would further test your environment:

Use the command line "unltfs" command to clear a tape:

What software are you using besides LTFS with that drive? Do you have BRU PE, by chance? I'm curious about the firmware version.

As to what the HP rep told you :rolleyes:, there is a version of...

Hmmm, that sounds like it could be interference from OS X's Spotlight (mdimporter) or possibly the fsevents monitor. Also, is your drive connected via direct SAS or Thunderbolt to SAS?

Sorry to be late to this thread -

The message that you're seeing - LTFS11027E Cannot mount volume: medium consistency check failed - is an error that a number of users have reported and it seems...

The only issue I see with your plans is that I've not had success getting Mercury / CUDA working with my Quadro cards in Bootcamp. Hopefully, someone else has had success and can provide input. ...

Except that you indicated that you're not replacing the Mac Pro's, your'e just changing OSes on the existing systems.

If your long term plan IS to replace the Mac Pros and go full force Windows,...

With these questions seeming to be the most important aspect of your shift, I've not been able to get Mercury or CUDA working within Bootcamp and Windows 7 (32 or 64bit) and either the Quadro 4000 or...

I've created a new thread on this.


However, let's take into account responsibility -

If you break LTFS, who do you call? With BRU, you call us and we get you back on track. As for being...

Take a look at our ArGest solutions and see if they're in the range of what you're looking for.

Hi Frank,

We didn't expect the LTO-6 to launch this early, so sorry that we didn't steer you towards it. Contact your sales rep and we'll see what we can do for you.

Tim

Nope - SAS and Fibre-Channel (in libraries) only. As I discussed in the other thread, there's no financial drive for the manufacturers to build a native Thunderbolt version.

Hi Shapour,

None of us were expecting things to be ready this soon, so in your case, waiting may have paid off :yesnod:

You should be good to go on ordering an LTO-6 solution from most vendors....

This will definitely work. We've tested with the ThunderStream and were able to stream from an attached RAID-5 expander chassis (24 drives) over the same ThunderStream at over 192MB/sec to the LTO-6...

The LTO-6 Drives and media are Ready!

Or to quote an old U.S. commercial "Its soup!"

Look for announcements from the various vendors throughout the month.

TOLIS Group will begin shipping the...

Unfortunately, there's nothing for the manufacturers to gain. The cost of implementing Thunderbolt and maintaining an entire secondary manufacturing line is just not cost effective if the unit...

Hi Folks,

You'll start seeing REAL availability notes about LTO-6 drives starting this month for most vendors. We were all able to work with the drives and media and get things through the...

Hi Folks,

The press release is out and the first units are shipping. The ArGest systems from TOLIS Group provide Ingest, Edit, and Archive in a single product supporting both native SAS and...

This composition is too cool. (in response to the sunglasses reflection still)

Hi Folks,

(Of course, that title SHOULD have been "Storage Array Performance and Connectivity Notes")

In light of the discussion about eSATA and SAS storage arrays and the way they need to...

It turns out that the positioning is a bit faster, but the transfer rates still top out at 140MB/sec (.5TB/hour).

The big difference that you see with LTO-4 media in the LTO-5 drive is in that the...

Unfortunately, this means that you will remain tapeless :sad: . The development overhead for creating a USB-3 or Thunderbolt native drive costs more than total cost of purchasing one of the various...
