Hi all,
I have been monitoring this group for a while, and have installed Red Hat
Linux 6.0 on a machine at work. Everything is working beautifully except for
one thing. I don't seem to be able to make use of the scsi tape drive. The
system has a bus logic scsi adaptor with an external cdrom and tape drive.
The cdrom worked great to install from the Red Hat cdrom, and I have read
the following from the /proc directory for the scsi adaptor:
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 05 Lun: 00
Vendor: ARCHIVE Model: Python 25501-xxx Rev: 2.96
Type: Sequential-Access ANSI SCSI
revision: 02
I did not list the values returned for the external scsi cdrom and internal
scsi hardrive because I did not think they would be relevant.
I loaded the Kdat (KDE tape backup) utility on the system, however it fails
to mount the tape drive, and the error reports that the tape is not in the
drive.
I have tried using different drivers such as /dev/tape /dev/st5 /dev/sgc
I also made an attempt at putting an entry into the fstab file with the
above different drivers
with no luck.
Nothing I have tried so far seems to work. I am relatively new to working
with these dat tapes in a Unix environment.. so please forgive my ignorance
as any help would be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards,
Joe
