harddrake2 does see the scsi contoller, where I am having difficulty
is setting up the device files in /dev for the tape drive.
i have yet to setup a device file in linux, but many in unix. i will take
a look to see what is required in linux. should not be all that different.
google should be a good place for a search. use advanced search
and use words 'driver, linux, scsi, tape'. if you get a high hit
count, add 'dat'. you could narrow further using 'dds' and 'adaptec'.
As for baking up there are many ways to do that g(tar) is very
good. Have not looked at dump or or some of the others that are
offered on MD 9.0.
i have never used gtar. what happens if gtar hits a bad spot?
At this point I am about to reload the system while the scsi card
and tape drive are in the system. I really do not want to as I
would have to put everything back that has been setup and without
a backup method it makes that kinda difficult, but I have done it
before.
if you do, save your configs, then do an overwrite after new install.
Thanks for all of your help.
for no more than what it has been, you are most welcome.
peace out.
