scsi tape drives
According to FAQ 4.3.3, SCSI tape drives are supported. I'm looking at getting a Dell PowerVault 124T Autoloader LTO-3 system. This product has an Ultra-2 SCSI interface, can I reasonably assume that I can run this machine via a FreeBSD system and it will work? I am aware that I might have issues with the software that will interface to this drive (right now we are looking at Bacula), but right now I want to make sure that there are no issues at the hardware-OS level. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: scsi tape drives
There shouldn't be any issues with it, bacula should do the trick nicely. Mohan Singh wrote: According to FAQ 4.3.3, SCSI tape drives are supported.

I have not used an autoloader, but have used the LTO drives on a SCSI controller and they work fine - just like a real tape drive. jerry ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

What sort of 'playing' do you want to do? If you just want to write to it and read from it, and do some positioning like rewind and fast forward, then the mt(1) man page should tell you what you need to know. Besides that, you just use any command such as cp, cat, dump, restore, tar, etc and specify the file as /dev/nsa0 (for the no rewind device that leaves the tape at the position after every operation) or /dev/sa0 (for the rewind device - that rewinds after every operation) In dd, tar and dump (especially dd) you may want to specify a block size if you want to match some other utility's normal block size or maybe if you want more efficient (fast) transfer of very large files. jerry p ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
