ATAPICAM - Sony AIT SDX-420 ATAPI tape drive on FreeBSD 5.2.1

2004-06-14 Thread raymond

I have added a Sony SDX-420 ATAPI tape drive to a FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE system.
The following is part of the kernel build:

# ATA and ATAPI devices
device  ata
device  atadisk # ATA disk drives

device atapicam

# SCSI peripherals
device  scbus   # SCSI bus (required for SCSI)
device  sa  # Sequential Access (tape etc)
device  cd  # CD

dmesg includes:

GEOM: create disk ad0 dp=0xc43f8760
ad0: 114473MB ST3120026A [232581/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA100
GEOM: create disk cd0 dp=0xc44e7600
sa0 at ata1 bus 0 target 0 lun 0
sa0: SONY SDX-420C 0101 Removable Sequential Access SCSI-2 device 
sa0: 3.300MB/s transfers
SMP: AP CPU #1 Launched!
cd0 at ata1 bus 0 target 1 lun 0
cd0: SONY CD-RW  CRX175A1 5YS3 Removable CD-ROM SCSI-0 device 
cd0: 3.300MB/s transfers
cd0: Attempt to query device size failed: NOT READY, Medium not present


A dump appears to work:

monster# mt rew
monster# dump -ua0 -b64 /usr
  DUMP: WARNING: should use -L when dumping live filesystems!
  DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Mon Jun 14 18:45:49 2004
  DUMP: Date of last level 0 dump: the epoch
  DUMP: Dumping /dev/ad0s1f (/usr) to /dev/sa0
  DUMP: mapping (Pass I) [regular files]
  DUMP: mapping (Pass II) [directories]
  DUMP: estimated 1668552 tape blocks.
  DUMP: dumping (Pass III) [directories]
  DUMP: dumping (Pass IV) [regular files]
  DUMP: DUMP: 1800569 tape blocks on 1 volume
  DUMP: finished in 262 seconds, throughput 6872 KBytes/sec
  DUMP: level 0 dump on Mon Jun 14 18:45:49 2004
  DUMP: Closing /dev/sa0
  DUMP: DUMP IS DONE

But restore does this:

monster# mt rew
monster# restore -t -b 64
Mount tape volume 2
Enter ``none'' if there are no more tapes
otherwise enter tape name (default: /dev/sa0) none
Tape read error while trying to resynchronize
continue? [yn] y
continuation failed: Bad file descriptor

I have tried quite a number of differing things...

Any hints or suggestions welcome.

 not a multiple of 1024 (the tape was created with a -b 32).

Could this be something to do with differences in ufs2 and old time ufs?
5.2.1 uses ufs2. I am not sure if that is compatible with the old ufs in
4.x - and I am not expert on file systems either ;)
Just blubbing around, to see if this might be a clue...

Sony AIT SDX-420 ATAPI tape drive on FreeBSD 5.2.1

2004-06-11 Thread raymond

I have added a Sony SDX-420 ATAPI tape drive to a FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE system.
The tape successfully does a dump and restore on this system but when
the tape is taken to a Sony SDX-400 SCSI tape drive on a FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE
system, restore insists that the tape blocks are 512 bytes and this is
not a multiple of 1024 (the tape was created with a -b 32).

I have then taken the backup from the SCSI drive (where it reads) and attempted
to read it on the ATAPI drive; the result looks like:
