Ok,

My Tape drive is a Sony SDT-9000

If I go to /proc/scsi/scsi appears Attached devices: none if mt -f /dev/st0 status appears mt: /dev/st0: No such device

my version is SuSE Linux 9.0 (i586) Kernel 2.4.21-273-smp4G / i686

Hello,

There could be a lot of reasons for that. So I've a few questions : - do you have other peripherals on your scsi controller? I'll suppose that the reply is no since you've nothing in /proc/scsi/scsi. - is SCSI tape support compiled as module in your kernel ? - is the scsi driver for your controller loaded at boot ? - if so is module st loaded? - if not did you try : modprobe st ?

and last but not least : are your SCSI terminators OK ?

- What is the type of your SCSI controller ?

After reply, I'll try to help you, I've a DDS2 SCSI tape working.

Michel.

You need ide-scsi, and stick it your boot process (there is a suse help tech note)

I cannot get a Travan tape device to work in Suse 9.2, it works fine in Suse 8.2. In the end I gave up and bought a dvd rw.

Your post is short on detail

is SCSI tape support compiled as module in your kernel ? yes - is the scsi driver for your controller loaded at boot ? yes

the result of modprob /dev/st0 is modprobe: Can't locate module /dev/st0

how can i do to know if the module is loaded?

Hi,

No, don't type : # modprobe /dev/st0

but :

modprobe st

"st" is the name of the module for scsi tapes.

If you are replied " Can't locate module st" i'll mean that this module is not compiled.

Try and tell me.

Michel.

PS : I just remember that "cat /proc/scsi/scsi" lists the generic scsi devices. Do you've support for generic scsi devices in your kernet ? and is module "sg" loaded at boot ?

One obvious hint would be to not use the subject line for matching. Use the X-Mailinglist header instead.

On a semi-unrelated note (yeah, I'm sort of hijacking this thread, but it's kinda related), I have this rule in my .procmailrc:

Why would that be missing these messages?

Mine works. The list folder only has mail sent from the list server, ie, directly from suse. CC copies sent to me direct go to the dups folder. Direct mail goes to another folder. # mail sent to this address is lists related. { # Add a Reply-To to this mail list, and move to the correct file. :0f * ^X-Mailinglist: suse-linux-e | /usr/bin/formail -bfi "Reply-To:suse-linux-e@suse.com" :0 a: $HOME/Mail/lists/suse-linux-e ... more lists here # Get duplicates (cc'ed) :0: * ^TO_suse-linux-s@suse.com $HOME/Mail/lists/in_dups .... more dups for the rest of list. ... direct. :0: $HOME/Mail/lists/in_elresto }

Perhaps I should add a rule for the header, though these messages about the tape drive are the first that weren't caught by the subject rule. I still think it has something to do with the accent char being used as an apostrophe, and that somehow breaking my old procmail (version 3.22 from 2001).

My rule above works also with suse 7.3 -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson

You don't. You simply create your .procmailrc for each user that wants to use it, and tell postfix or sendmail or whatever to use procmail for local delivery. Yast does it for you, in fact. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson

You will likely need stinit at some point, but you have not gotten that far.

You said /proc/scsi is not showing the drive.

I assume dmesg and/or /var/log/boot.msg is not showing the drive either during the SCSI detect process. (Look for where your controller is detected.)

That has to happen first, then the drive info (Manufacturer/Model) from that is used by stinit to create the /dev/st0 entry.

...

From what you have described, you either are having a hardware problem, or the driver for your controller is not working right.

Have you gone into your controllers bios and verified it can see the drive?

Ats Joni

I agree, that looks wrong.

When you do a lsmod, do you even have the SCSI module loaded.

I'm guessing no. So you need to get your controller recognized first, then you can start thinking about the tape drive.

Did you say that you had tried a couple different controllers? Or you had just tried different tape drives.

Greg

Hi, You told be in your first reply that the scsi controller module was loaded at boot. It is not the case, what is the type of your SCSI controller ? I need this in order to tell you what module to modprobe. Michel.
