Dear FreeBSD list,
I'm currently using FreeBSD on my backup server (w/ Amanda).
I'm wondering if exists out there a utility for setting tape parameters
(during boot).
Linux had /sbin/stinit and /etc/stinit.def.
Is there something similar for FreeBSD?
Another problem I'm experiencing is:
During power cycling, the controller resets the tape drives the drives
eject the tape.
If I use 'mt -f /dev/nsa0 comp off' in a boot script it fails with an
error tape drive not configured.
Is there a pretty solution for this or you just put mt into a loop until
it succeeds?
Is there a way pushing compression and block size parameters to the sa
driver?
I've already RTFM sa(8) and checked sysctl settings and I couldn't find
the answer.
Thanks for your constructive comments in advance,
Attila
