Compile usb-storage with Freecom support, load it and osst. Access the device via /dev/(n)osst0. Use a blocksize of 32k. (pipe over buffer -s 32k or use tar -b 64, see README.) Newer versions of osst overcome this block size limitation, but those have not yet been merged to the mainstream kernel.

Re: OnStream USB
I'm the owner of that first URL. The driver works for me. Make sure you enable the "Freecom USB/ATAPI" support under the USB Mass Storage option in the kernel configuration. Note that this is only supported for 2.4.x series kernels.

OnStream USB
Hello, I am considering getting an OnStream USB tape backup drive. I want the USB version because I have about 4 machines all on different networks that need to be backed up. Using USB would allow me to move the unit from one machine to another without rebooting the machine. I see that the SCSI version of the drive seems to be supported in linux but I can only find tidbits of information that don't confirm or deny this. Listed below are two sites that have some information which seem to confirm that the drive does indeed work, but I simply want to be sure. http://www2.one-eyed-alien.net/~mdharm/linux-usb/ http://linux1.onstream.nl/test/ Thank you, Geoff -- Geoffrey Gallaway || [EMAIL PROTECTED] || Clones are people two.
