Here is part of my "dmesg" with my Tape Drive detected:-
scsi2 : Initio INI-A100U2W SCSI device driver; Revision: 1.02d
Vendor: HP Model: C5683A Rev: C111
Type: Sequential-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
st: Version 20040403, fixed bufsize 32768, s/g segs 256
Attached scsi tape st0 at scsi2, channel 0, id 3, lun 0
st0: try direct i/o: yes (alignment 512 B), max page reachable
by HBA 1048575
Note that mt commands (such as mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind or mt -f
/dev/st0 rewind) also give me input/output errors, when I turn Bacula
off.
Hi Alan,
Sounds like its either dead or just unplugged. Done any moving around
lately??? What do you have in /proc/scsi/scsi ??? (# cat
/proc/scsi/scsi)
It should list (depending upon your setup) the tape drive and maybe some
SCSI/SATA/USB hard disks too, in fact anything that uses the generic
SCSI kernel module.
If your tape drive isn't listed then the kernel knows nothing of it and
it just ain't going to work (and hence why mt and bacula fail). If it
is, then it could be something more difficult to pin down.
If it isn't listed, then you'll need to check the usual things (powered
on or not, everything plugged in correctly, SCSI termination, etc, etc).
Is there anything else plugged into the HBA that could have died???
Could the HBA be faulty or the drive??? Just try some usual checks, move
the drive to another HBA to see if its OK or the HBA is dead, check its
not been in-advertently powered off (cable unplugged, tripped over
cable, etc, etc)...
And so on and so on...
HTH
