Hi all,
I've installed a HP Colorado 5GB tapedrive onto my pc and enabled the
drvers in the kernel (yes, 2.2.11 now)
When I boot I get:
hdd: HP COLORADO 5GB, ATAPI TAPE drive
ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14
ide1 at 0x170-0x177,0x376 on irq 15
hda: FUJITSU MPC3032AT, 3093MB w/0kB Cache, CHS=838/120/63, UDMA
hdb: QUANTUM FIREBALL CX20.4A, 19470MB w/418kB Cache, CHS=2637/240/63,
UDMA
ide-tape: hdd: overriding capabilities->speed (assuming 650KB/sec)
ide-tape: hdd: overriding capabilities->max_speed (assuming 650KB/sec)
ide-tape: hdd <-> ht0, 650KBps, 16*32kB buffer, 3200kB pipeline, 400ms
tDSC, DMA
Floppy drive(s): fd0 is 1.44M
FDC 0 is a National Semiconductor PC87306
md driver 0.36.6 MAX_MD_DEV=4, MAX_REAL=8
I don't know what this means but I suspect it is recognised (probably
not at it's full potential, but it's a start)
So, I want to make a backup of my complete HDD (/)
The first thin I tryd:
tar cf /dev/ht0 /
gives:
tar: Removing leading `/' from absolute path names in the archive
tar: Cannot write to /dev/ht0: I/O error
tar: error is not recoverable: exiting now
Then I installed 'taper-6.9pre1', with kernel 2.0.35 the program starts
but cannot acces the drive
but with kernel 2.2.11 I get a
Function not implemented while setting up shared memory
Segmentation fault
Now is there a howto regarding ide tape drives, 'cause I understand
ftape doesn't support ide tape drives,
should I be able to mount the drive? (mount /dev/ht0 / gives 'mount:
/dev/ht0 is not a block device)
Greetings,
Jeroen
