Re: Amanda and Onstream DI-30 fast
Hi, AFAIK this is a problem of the onstream firmware. amnda will not be able to work around this bug, so amanda probably will never work with these drives.

AW: Amanda and Onstream DI-30
Hi, I'm using SuSE 7.0, Kernel 2.2.16 with no osst-driver - only aic7xxx, an Onstream ADR50i and I've got exactly the same problem. Writing to a 25GB-Tape will work fine - but when attempting to write data back, there seems to be a point/block (until ~1,2GB) where all readings fail. So changing to Kernel 2.2.18 or 2.4.x will maybe fix the problem? Christian -Ursprngliche Nachricht- Von: Gernot Schreib [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 4.

Amanda and Onstream DI-30
Well, I've looked through the archives and it appears that some
people are having success with this driver. I am not one of
them.
I'm currently running redhat 6.2 with a 2.2.16 kernel. I can get
the drive to work with the ide-tape module patched according to
onstream and access it as /dev/ht0 and /dev/nht0 and it works. I
can use mt and give commands to the drive write data restore data
etc... Any how when I do an backup with amanda it doesn't work.
It seems to write but it won't restore.
In the archives it seems others have had this problem. So I
follow their suggestions and apply a patch to the taper.c in
amanda. Well that helps a little. Now it gets atapi reset
messages and I can read back some of the tape but not all.
I've also read that the ide-tape module doesn't work and to use
ide-scsi emulation with osst. So i've tried to get that working
and still no luck. I believe I'm passing the correct lilo option
append="hdh=ide-scsi" and the boot messages show the scsi0 device
but it reports that scsi emulation is not supported on the di-30
drive.
If anyone may have a hint for me or any words of advice to help
me out I'd really appreciate it.
