For some reason I do not have /dev/st* . I compiled my kernel with scsi tape support and I thought that would do it. Is there something that I am missing. Am I looking in the wrong spot for my tape device.
I have a ICP raid card (GDT) which is fully functional and the kernel sees the tape drive Configuring GDT-PCI HA at 0/9 IRQ 3 scsi0 : GDT6518RD scsi : 1 host. Vendor: ICP Model: Host Drive #01 Rev: Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Detected scsi disk sda at scsi0, channel 0, id 1, lun 0 Vendor: HP Model: C1537A Rev: L708 Type: Sequential-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Detected scsi tape st0 at scsi0, channel 2, id 3, lun 0 scsi : detected 1 SCSI tape 1 SCSI disk total. SCSI device sda: hdwr sector= 512 bytes. Sectors= 35551845 [17359 MB] [17.4 GB] but I am just lost as to how to access it in taper or kbackup. -Ryan
