Package: targetcli-fb

Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
exporting a local SCSI tape drive using targetcli is not possible. The used
SCSI tape
drive is an older HP Ultrium-2 SCSI drive connected via a Adaptec 29320ALP U320
PCIe
SCSI controller to the host. The host is a freshly set up Debian 9.2 system.
# lscpi -v

There is no way to correctly specify the tape drive which should be used for
the target.
Note that the test-wise block device export above did work, only the tape can't
be used.
Do you have any further instructions how I can help to determine the cause of
the issue?
Best regards,
Herbert Nachtnebel
