説明

Describe the bug
Even tho you can change the tape type and density using cart_type and density_code, if you use any other format besides LTO5 it will not format.

To Reproduce

  • mkdir tape
  • mkltfs -e file -d tape
  • cd tape
  • Change the backend configuration to use any density and type different from LTO5, e.g.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<filedebug_cartridge_config>
    <dummy_io>false</dummy_io>
    <emulate_readonly>false</emulate_readonly>
    <capacity_mb>204800</capacity_mb>
    <cart_type>L6</cart_type>
    <density_code>5A</density_code>
    <delay_mode>None</delay_mode>
    <wraps>40</wraps>
    <change_direction_us>2000000</change_direction_us>
    <change_track_us>10000</change_track_us>
    <threading_sec>0</threading_sec>
</filedebug_cartridge_config>

Expected behavior
It should format to any other format available

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS: RHEL 9.4

Additional context
The reason is becase it's hardcoded in filedebug_tc.c:411

state->product_id = "ULTRIUM-TD5";

But also it tries to get the drive_type from the serial of the tape wich is weird.

for (i = 0; i < (int)strlen(state->serial_number); i++) {
	if (state->serial_number[i] == '.') {
		state->serial_number[i] = '\0';
		state->product_id = &(state->serial_number[i+1]);
		break;
	}
}

In this part gets the first compatible drive from the ibm_supported_drives variable, wich is an ULT3580-TD5 that is not compatible with any other tape.

while(*d_cur) {
	if((! strncmp(IBM_VENDOR_ID, (*d_cur)->vendor_id, strlen((*d_cur)->vendor_id)) ) &&
	   (! strncmp(state->product_id, (*d_cur)->product_id, strlen((*d_cur)->product_id)) ) ) {
		state->drive_type = (*d_cur)->drive_type;
		break;
	}
	d_cur++;
}

I'm currently working in a new option for the xml file to specify the drive type
