Hi,
I've been using amanda for some years, but have just moved from Mandriva
to Debian Etch.
I have a Seagate STT-20000 IDE Travan tape, which is identified as nht0.
MT and dd correctly address this device, and I can read an Amanda tape
using dd.
However, amcheck insists that: tapedev /dev/nht0 is offline or has no
loaded tape. tape_rdlabel: tape open: /dev/nht0: No such file or
directory
(expecting tape SysDumps-04 or a new tape)
So clearly I've misconfigured something. I seem to have a vague memory
of putting "hdb=ide-scsi" in my kernel command line, and using nst0 but
can find no reference to that.
Has anyone got any suggestions please?
Cheers, Tony
Do a
#modprobe ide-scsi
And see if that loads the kernel module.

Thanks for the suggestion, Nick; I'm not sure what you expected it to
achieve, but:
# modprobe ide-scsi
FATAL: Module ide_scsi not found.
It seems like everyone here is equally baffled :(
I have this drive in one of my machines, and needed to load the ide-scsi
module and then reference the drive as "nst0".
Of course, I sent my previous reply before I realized you has said that
you could use mt and could dd stuff to/from a tape using whatever the
tape drive shows as in /dev, so. . . yeah, baffled Nick is.
