Hi All,
 
I'm trying to set up a Tape Drive for use with Bacula on a FC4 System and
I'm having some troubles.  The tape drive and the Adaptec SCSI card were
both in a Windows 2003 server and were working correctly, so I know the
drive and card are good.
 
My Tape drive is a Sony SDT-9000 (12/24GB DDS-3) and is ID=5 on an Adaptec
AHA-2940/2940W / AIC-7871 SCSI Controller.
 
In the Hardware Browser in Gnome:
 
The Tape drive is displayed correctly as a Sony SDT-9000 and is on /dev/st0.
The Tape is listed as "none or built in" for the driver.
 
The Adaptec SCSI controller is also listed correctly and is using the
aic7xxx driver.
 
With a Tape in the drive and running the following command from a terminal:
 
mt -f /dev/st0 rewind
or
mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind
 
I get back:
 
/dev/st0: Device or resource busy
or
/dev/nst0: Device or resource busy
 
FYI:  /dev/tape is a symbolic link to /dev/nst0 (I'll probably change this
link later to point to /dev/st0)
 
All mt -f /dev/st0 rewind or eject or ., don't have any affect on the drive.
The drive doesn't respond and no activity is noticed.
 
When I run the following:
 
cat /proc/scsi/scsi
 
I get:
 
Attached devices:
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
  Vendor: 3ware    Model: Logical Disk 0   Rev: 1.2
  Type:   Direct-Access                    ANSI SCSI revision: ffffffff
Host: scsi5 Channel: 00 Id: 02 Lun: 00
  Vendor: SONY     Model: SDT-9000         Rev: 0400
  Type:   Sequential-Access                ANSI SCSI revision: 02
 
In my messages file in /var/log/ I'm getting the following:
 
kernel: st0: MTSETDRVBUFFER only allowed for root
 
I don't know how to resolve this problem.  Any assistance would be
appreciated.



Thanks,
