[TriLUG] RH9 tape device? Revisited

[Byarlay, Wayne A.]

 Well, Shucks, I spoke too soon.

Any commands to this device, don't work! My dmesg says,

"scsi0 : Adaptec AIC7XXX EISA/VLB/PCI SCSI HBA DRIVER, Rev 6.2.8
        <Adaptec 2944 Ultra SCSI adapter>
        aic7880: Ultra Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 16/253 SCBs

blk: queue c14f6214, I/O limit 4095Mb (mask 0xffffffff)
  Vendor: QUANTUM   Model: DLT7000           Rev: 245F
  Type:   Sequential-Access                  ANSI SCSI revision: 02
blk: queue c14f6414, I/O limit 4095Mb (mask 0xffffffff)
...
...
Attached scsi tape st0 at scsi0, channel 0, id 4, lun 0"

but any attempts to "mt -f /dev/st0 rewind" don't make the drive blink
like it's working... but I do get a prompt again almost immediately.

I know the device actually works; because I have a 2nd hard drive in the
machine with an old Debian install running AMANDA and it has been
working for years.

I'm attempting to configure AMANDA as well, and though I've got an
amanda config up & running to write to disk, the tape setup tries to
rewind the tape as well, and just sits there...

I guess my question is, how do I go about investigating why this config
isn't properly activating the tape drive?

Thanks in advance, Linux Gods,

wab.

Hi Wayne,

 From my RH9 system's "dmesg" output:

On the last line, it shows that my DLT4 tape drive is st0.

Good luck,
