Hi,
Is there any way how to detect in an application that 34xx tape was attached through ccw. In other words, detect that new directory for that tape appeared in /sys/bus/ccw/devices/ and that it is ready for "chccwdev -e". I would like to have a program that tracks whether any tape was attached or detached and I was wondering whether there is another option than "try-to-open and wait" loop. These are messages in the system log which describes events I'd like to trap: kernel: crw_info : CRW reports slct=0, oflw=0, chn=0, rsc=3, anc=1, erc=4, rsid=5 kernel: TAPE_CORE: tape device 0.0.0186 found kernel: TAPE_CORE: (0.0.0186): Tape has been mounted kernel: TAPE_BLOCK: Detecting media size... kernel: TAPE_BLOCK: Found 2 blocks on media kernel: TAPE_CORE: (0.0.0186): Tape is unloaded kernel: crw_info : CRW reports slct=0, oflw=0, chn=0, rsc=3, anc=1, erc=4, rsid=5 Radek Vlacil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
