function write to tape failed code -1 errno 16
Doing a simple "ontape -s" and getting the following -
"function write to tape failed code -1 errno 16"
Anyone know what that means?
Permissions are OK, I can tar/untar from the tape device as user
informix. Tape drive and tape seem fine.
16 should mean tape is busy, you can check in errno.h in case it is
something else.
Have you only got a single tape device and running continous logging ?
