This one might be out there:
Has anyone ever heard of using an Ecrix Firewire tape drive in Linux??
I'm running RH 7.1 and I've compiled 2.4.6 for Firewire support. I have a
Keyspan Firewire card using an OHCI compliant chipset and I am able to get
the card and the drive seen. I look at dmesg and see a bunch of ohci1394 and
ieee1394 entries with no real errors and they read "ieee1394: including
selfid 0x...." These messages indicate the completion of each node's SelfID
process and acceptance by the ieee1394 subsystem.
Also I can look at /proc/ohci1394 and see that there are 2 nodes (card and
drive), but I don't know how to access it. tar just errors out and I can't
seem to find any applications that might be able to take advantage of this
configuration.
Any ideas?
