My new LTO1,
Host: scsi1 Channel: 00 Id: 08 Lun: 00
Vendor: HP Model: Ultrium 1-SCSI Rev: E0AV
Type: Sequential-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 03
is working fine with this config:
Device {
Name = Ultrium-LTO1
Media Type = LTO1
Archive Device = /dev/nst1
Removable Media = yes
RandomAccess = no
Autochanger = no
Backward Space Record = yes
Automatic Mount = yes
Offline On Unmount = yes
Always Open = yes
Close on Poll = yes
Volume Poll Interval = 1m
}
and the following mt tweaks:
/etc/rc.d/rc.M:/bin/mt -f /dev/nst1 stsetoptions can-bsr
/etc/rc.d/rc.M:/bin/mt -f /dev/nst1 defblksize 0
