If you want to try ide-scsi, with lilo add: append="hdd=ide-scsi" to /etc/lilo.conf and then run lilo. After you reboot, the tape drive should be /dev/st0 and /dev/nst0. Do you get any messages in /var/log/messages or /var/log/kern.log when you try to use the tape drive? > > from dmesg: > > ide-tape: Dumping ATAPI Identify Device tape parameters > ide-tape: Protocol Type: <6>ATAPI > ide-tape: Device Type: 1 - <6>Streaming Tape Device > ide-tape: Removable: Yes > ide-tape: Command Packet DRQ Type: <6>Accelerated DRQ > ide-tape: Command Packet Size: <6>12 bytes > ide-tape: Model: Seagate STT20000A > ide-tape: Firmware Revision: 8A51 > ide-tape: Serial Number: > ide-tape: Write buffer size: 372736 bytes > ide-tape: DMA: Yes > ide-tape: LBA: Yes > ide-tape: IORDY can be disabled: Yes > ide-tape: IORDY supported: Yes > ide-tape: ATAPI overlap supported: No > ide-tape: PIO Cycle Timing Category: 2 > ide-tape: DMA Cycle Timing Category: 2 > ide-tape: Single Word DMA supported modes: <6>0 <6>1 <6>2 <6>(active) > <6> > ide-tape: Multi Word DMA supported modes: <6>0 <6>1 <6>2 <6>(active) <6> > ide-tape: Enhanced PIO Modes: Mode 3 > ide-tape: Minimum Multi-word DMA cycle per word: <6>120 ns > ide-tape: Manufacturer's Recommended Multi-word cycle: <6>120 ns > ide-tape: Minimum PIO cycle without IORDY: <6>120 ns > ide-tape: Minimum PIO cycle with IORDY: <6>120 ns > ide-tape: hdd <-> ht0: Seagate STT20000A rev 8A51 > ide-tape: Dumping the results of the MODE SENSE packet command > ide-tape: Mode Parameter Header: > ide-tape: Mode Data Length - 23 > ide-tape: Medium Type - 0 > ide-tape: Device Specific Parameter - 16 > ide-tape: Block Descriptor Length - 0 > ide-tape: Capabilities and Mechanical Status Page: > ide-tape: Page code - 42 > ide-tape: Page length - 18 > ide-tape: Read only - No > ide-tape: Supports reverse space - Yes > ide-tape: Supports erase initiated formatting - No > ide-tape: Supports QFA two Partition format - Yes > ide-tape: Supports locking the medium - No > ide-tape: The volume is currently locked - No > ide-tape: The device defaults in the prevent state - No > ide-tape: Supports ejecting the medium - No > ide-tape: Supports error correction - Yes > ide-tape: Supports data compression - No > ide-tape: Supports 512 bytes block size - Yes > ide-tape: Supports 1024 bytes block size - No > ide-tape: Supports 32768 bytes block size / Restricted byte count for > PIO transfers - No > ide-tape: Maximum supported speed in KBps - 1000 > ide-tape: Continuous transfer limits in blocks - 108 > ide-tape: Current speed in KBps - 1000 > ide-tape: Buffer size - 331776 > ide-tape: Adjusted block size - 512 > ide-tape: hdd <-> ht0: 1000KBps, 6*54kB buffer, 9720kB pipeline, 110ms > tDSC, DMA > > > > On Sun, 2002-01-06 at 20:50, Jerome Acks Jr wrote: > > On Sat, Jan 05, 2002 at 01:10:26PM -0600, Lance Hoffmeyer wrote: > > > I am using kernel 2.4.16 and have IDE TAPE built into the kernel.
