Hi All,
I have just completed a machine swap on my file server which boasts a HP
Colorado 14GB IDE/ATAPI drive. I have never had a problem with this prior to
8.1. The scsi component was always missing, I found that I had to add the
ide-scsi option into LILO in the 'append' section, hdd=ide-scsi to get it to
work.
After this latest migration, I cannot appear to get the tape to work (also
8.1). This is what I see:
ls -al /dev/st0
lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 31 May 10 21:09 /dev/st0 -->
scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/mt
lilo.conf
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label=linux
root=/dev/hda1
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
append=" hdd=ide-scsi devfs=mount"
vga=788
read-only
Example of failure:
[root@london root]# tar -cvf /dev/st0 /home
tar: /dev/st0: Cannot open: Permission denied
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
[root@london root]#
If anyone has any ideas/pointers it would be appreciated.
System: Fujitsu P200/90'ish RAM running in console mode (init 3) only
serving SAMBA/NFS/POP3/CUPS
Thanks,
David
