Hi there,
I'm trying to setup a backup system using an HP SureStore 40x6, but
this is the first time I'm using tapes under Linux and I'm a bit lost.
It seems I cannot access the tapes, as I get the following:
cognos ~ # mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind
/dev/nst0: No such device or address
cognos ~ # mt -f /dev/st0 rewind
/dev/st0: No such device or address
cognos ~ # ls -l /dev/nst0
crw-rw 1 root tape 9, 128 mar 10 18:47 /dev/nst0
cognos ~ # ls -l /dev/st0
crw-rw 1 root tape 9, 0 mar 10 18:47 /dev/st0
It seems my system has not detected the tape autochanger, as I only
get the SCSI disk in the list of SCSI devices:
cognos ~ # cat /proc/scsi/scsi
Attached devices:
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
Vendor: COMPAQ Model: BD07296B44 Rev: HPB6
Type: Direct-AccessANSI SCSI revision: 03
I have two SCSI adapters:
cognos ~ # lspci
:00:00.0 Host bridge: Broadcom (formerly ServerWorks) GCNB-LE Host
Bridge (rev 32)
:00:00.1 Host bridge: Broadcom (formerly ServerWorks) GCNB-LE Host Bridge

:00:0f.2 USB Controller: Broadcom (formerly ServerWorks) CSB6 OHCI
USB Controller (rev 05)
:00:0f.3 Host bridge: Broadcom (formerly ServerWorks) GCLE-2 Host Bridge
I think the tape autochanger is connected to the second one (LSI Logic
/ Symbios Logic 53c1030), so I have checked my kernel config searching
for drivers. Everything I can think of seems to be compiled in the
kernel, or as modules I have tried to modprobe, but with no positive
results... any ideas?
Thanks in advance, best regards
Jose
