I have just added a used IBM LTO Ultrium Gen 1 drive with a Adaptec 29160 to my server. The tape drive is the only device on the scsi bus.
So far I am just using the aic7xxx module that ships with SuSE 8.2
I think I have the basic functionality working (ie. /dev/st0), but I want to be able to use the compression feature of the drive.
I think that should be either /dev/st0a or /dev/st0m.
Unfortunately, neither of those devices seem to work.
Anyone know how to get them working?
Most drives do the compression by default. Sure that isn't the case with your drive? -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.
