I have always used the Tandberg SLR series of drives for 5Gb to 100Gb. When used with the Initio9100 UW controller they are detected and installed by the OS and run perfectly without a hitch. Best of luck

They are SCSI, so you should have SCSI support in your kernel. The devices start at st0 (scsi tape zero). Check to see if the device exists in /dev. I have 4 of these in one machine, so I have st0, st1, st2, st3 As far as I know, there is no "special drivers" for these tape units. Tar should write to them just fine, however, I use an extremely old version of bru to handle the backups. I believe bru just uses tar, though. You might try a test with something like: "# tar -czvf /dev/st0 /some/temporary/non-critical/directory/*" then check the results with: "# tar -tzvf /dev/st0" Lose the quotes, of course. The -tzvf should give you a screen dump of whats on the tape. Hope this helps. -John _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list This mail was processed by Mail essentials for Exchange/SMTP, the email security & management gateway.
