scsi emulation for tape drive
Hi all. Operating System:Red Hat Linux 7.1 Amanda Version: 2.4.2p2 Tape Drive: Seagate Travan 20GB ATAPI (ide) Model I've been scanning through many different docs this past few weeks and I vagly rememeber seeing documentation on scsi emulation, but a needle in the hay stack brings new meaning, please point me in the right direction. Thanks, Trevor.
Re: scsi emulation for tape drive
Hi, this beast lives in the linux-kernel. To get it you have at least to unload the ide-tape module, load the ide-scsi module and the scsi-tape module (in this order). After that you should be able to access your tapedevice via /dev/nst0. If you have a kernel-source-tree, go there and have look at the help-screen for the ide-scsi option.

TF Thanks, Trevor. A client of me uses the 8GB Travan Drive under Suse Linux, I looked up the support-pages and found this article which worked out fine: http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/mkrapp_colorado.html You´ll maybe have to adapt things a little but at least it´s a needle in your hay stack, I hope ;-) I have to say that this drive shows some strange behavior when used by amanda, some dumps fail, labelling is a problem from time to time ... I don´t know if it´s a hardware problem or if the problem is in the scsi emulation. But give it a try and tell us your results. greets, Stefan mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
