Hi list, I have a Compaq Server with standard NCR53C8xx scsi controller (which BTW is by redhat autodetected as symbios ncr controller, when used as such it uses 40 MHz bus-freq and system hangs with zillions of SCSI bus parity errors. When I enforce usage of the NCR driver, it only uses 20Mhz but works, is this normal? Or does it already mean there is a cabling problem? There is only the DLT on the scsi controller BTW) The system has a cciss 5300 raid controller. Now, all works fine, but the 40/80 DLT does not stream, hence is slow. I only used tar for now. Even with large blocks -b512 or something, it streams a bit more but still halts often. Even with the buffer (buffered dd) tool (which seems to be nowhere on the web anymore) tool I can't get it to stream. Is this normal? Is there anything I can do, fine tune the st driver etc.. (how), to make the DLT stream? Will using an elaborate backup software allow the DLT to stream? Thanks in advance.
