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.
and it is not. take a look at this, [incase you have not already]
under kde, raise taskbar, click on:
start application | what to do | read documents | read kde documents | \
unix manual pages | (8) sys. administration | makedev
i tried it, but found that makedev was not installed. could also be why when i
tried 'man makedev', i got a 'not found'. so i did not go any further with it.
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'.
enter words without ','.
perseverance.
peace out.
