Hi,
I am having problems getting my tape drive working. Any suggestions?
Sorry, if I gave to much output.
The command I give:
'mt -f /dev/nst0 status'
Error:
'st0: Error with sense data: [valid=0] Info fld=0x0, Current st09:00: sense key
Illegal Request
Additional sense indicates Invalid command operation code
st0: Error with sense data: [valid=0] Info fld=0x0, Current st09:00: sense key

drive type = Generic SCSI-2 tape
drive status = 1191182848
sense key error = 0
residue count = 0
file number = 0
block number = 0
Tape block size 512 bytes. Density code 0x47 (unknown).
Soft error count since last status=0
General status bits on (41010000):
BOT ONLINE IM_REP_EN'
My modules I am using to access the drive are st and ide-scsi.
The drive is Seagate TapeStor Travan 20GB IDE which uses formats QIC-3095,
QIC-3220.
The command 'dmesg' shows the tape drive as:
'hdd: Seagate ST220000A, ATAPI TAPE drive'
The complete dmesg output:
