Hi, I have a Dell PowerVault 120T DLT1 Autoloader connected to a Dell PowerEdge 2650 running RedHat 9 via an Adaptec SCSI Card 39160. When entering the SCSI Cards bios and using some diskutility tools my SCSI Card has, I get this message: This device is not a Disk Drive. (Till now, I don't think this should be a problem because the SCSI Card recognises my PoverVault corectly)
But, when trying to label a tape I get the following error: [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# amlabel DailySet1 DailySet1-01 rewinding amlabel: tape_rewind: rewinding tape: /dev/sg2: Operation not permitted I read some posts related to my problem but the solution did not work for me. - http://www.linuxchix.org/pipermail/techtalk/2002-September/012922.html - http://www.linuxchix.org/pipermail/techtalk/2002-September/012965.html I've tried to use /dev/nst0-9 /dev/st0-9 but when trying to label a tape I still get: [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# amlabel DailySet1 DailySet1-01 rewinding amlabel: tape_rewind: tape open: /dev/st0: No such file or directory I will give you some details about my configuration, maybe I've missed something: My dmesg looks like: scsi1 : Adaptec AIC7XXX EISA/VLB/PCI SCSI HBA DRIVER, Rev 6.2.8 <Adaptec 3960D Ultra160 SCSI adapter> aic7899: Ultra160 Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 32/253 SCBs scsi2 : Adaptec AIC7XXX EISA/VLB/PCI SCSI HBA DRIVER, Rev 6.2.8 <Adaptec 3960D Ultra160 SCSI adapter> aic7899: Ultra160 Wide Channel B, SCSI Id=7, 32/253 SCBs blk: queue f7fc2618, I/O limit 4095Mb (mask 0xffffffff) Vendor: ADIC Model: FastStor DLT Rev: D118 Type: Medium Changer ANSI SCSI revision: 02 blk: queue f7fc2418, I/O limit 4095Mb (mask 0xffffffff) Journalled Block Device driver loaded (shouldn't I get some further information?
