I hope someone can help with this. I have been working with a tape drive(s) on and off for a few days now and can't seem to get mine to work in SuSe 9.1 It works with RedHat 7.1 and Arcserve.... Here is my hardware. I have a 3ware controller that does all my hard drives. It works great I have an Adaptec 29160 (I believe) controller that has a SEAGATE DDS4 tape drive attached. When the system boots it sees the tape drive and SCSI card. If I run YAST hardware info it displays the tape drive as DAT 06240-XXX Bus: scsi class (spec): Tape class: mass storage device ... (more stuff) Device Name /dev/st0 Driver aic7xxx Model SEAGATE DAT 062400XXX .... more stuff sysfs_bus)id 1:0:5:0 After the system boots, in my /var/log/warn file I get Attached scsi tape st0 at scsi1, changel 0, id5, lun 0 st0: try direct i/o: yes(alignment 512 B(, map page reachable by HBA 1048575 If I run mt -f /dev/st0 status I get the following (then the console locks, never to return) driver type = Generic SCSI-2 tape drive status - 637434720 sense key error = 0 residue count = 0 file number = -1 b lock number = -1 Tape block size 512 bytes. Density code = 0x26 (unknown) Soft error cound since last status = 0 General status bits on (10100000): ...... The system just locks, and my /var/log/warn file adds one line st0: Block limits 1 - 16777215 Is there something I am missing? Is there somewhere I can look and try and figure out what is going on? If I try and kill the mt process, I can't, and if I try anything else on /dev/st0, it says the device is busy. Thanks in advance
