Hi there, I'm trying to setup a backup system using an HP SureStore 40x6, but this is the first time I'm using tapes under Linux and I'm a bit lost.
It seems I cannot access the tapes, as I get the following: cognos ~ # mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind /dev/nst0: No such device or address cognos ~ # mt -f /dev/st0 rewind /dev/st0: No such device or address cognos ~ # ls -l /dev/nst0 crw-rw---- 1 root tape 9, 128 mar 10 18:47 /dev/nst0 cognos ~ # ls -l /dev/st0 crw-rw---- 1 root tape 9, 0 mar 10 18:47 /dev/st0 It seems my system has not detected the tape autochanger, as I only get the SCSI disk in the list of SCSI devices: cognos ~ # cat /proc/scsi/scsi Attached devices: Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: COMPAQ Model: BD07296B44 Rev: HPB6 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 03 I have two SCSI adapters: cognos ~ # lspci 0000:00:00.0 Host bridge: Broadcom (formerly ServerWorks) GCNB-LE Host Bridge (rev 32) 0000:00:00.1 Host bridge: Broadcom (formerly ServerWorks) GCNB-LE Host Bridge 0000:00:03.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage XL (rev 27) 0000:00:04.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5702X Gigabit Ethernet (rev 02) 0000:00:05.0 System peripheral: Compaq Computer Corporation Advanced System Management Controller 0000:00:06.0 SCSI storage controller: Adaptec AIC-7892A U160/m (rev 02) 0000:00:08.0 SCSI storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic 53c1030 PCI-X Fusion-MPT Dual Ultra320 SCSI (rev 07) 0000:00:09.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5705_2 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 03) 0000:00:0e.0 IDE interface: Broadcom (formerly ServerWorks) CSB6 IDE Controller (rev a0) 0000:00:0f.0 ISA bridge: Broadcom (formerly ServerWorks) CSB6 South Bridge (rev a0) 0000:00:0f.2 USB Controller: Broadcom (formerly ServerWorks) CSB6 OHCI USB Controller (rev 05) 0000:00:0f.3 Host bridge: Broadcom (formerly ServerWorks) GCLE-2 Host Bridge I think the tape autochanger is connected to the second one (LSI Logic / Symbios Logic 53c1030), so I have checked my kernel config searching for drivers. Everything I can think of seems to be compiled in the kernel, or as modules I have tried to modprobe, but with no positive results... any ideas?
