4mm DAT drive

2004-06-26 Thread Eric N. Valor
Howdy. I have an older 4mm SCSI DAT drive (HP C1533A). It's supposed to be 4gb native, but I can only seem to tar up ~3gb. It's been quite a few years since I last used a tape drive (back when SunOS4.1 was new), so I don't remember how to address the compression of the drive

Hello, I have a SCSI tape autoloader that's capable of having 4 * 4Gig 4 mm dat on it. Problem is that when the kernel boots, it recognize it as a removable hard drive (/dev/sdb) instead of a tape drive. I use adaptec 2940 SCSI adapter. Pointer? Clue? --snippet from dmesg: md driver 0.35 MAX_MD_
