Hi everyone, I have 2 tape streamers which work from the floppy controller, both of which worked OK under Suse V6.0. One is an Exabyte Eagle TR3, (takes Travan TR3 tapes), the other an HP Colorado T1000 which takes the TR1. I can't seem to get either working now. Does anyone else use these? I used to use mt to retension the tapes and tar to create/restore backups but both say no device when I use /dev/ftape. Any ideas, anyone?

Have a look at our online support database at
http://sdb.suse.de/sdb/en/html/index.html . There's an article about floppy
streamers, see if that'll help you. If not, feel free to ask.

OK. Seem to getting somewhere now. Now I get mt: /dev/nqft0: Device not configured when I try mt -f /dev/nqft0 rewind or whatever. I assume this means I need some parameters somewhere, but where?

First of all, check that the device entries exist. These should be
crw-rw---- 1 root disk 27, 4 Jul 11 20:22 /dev/nqft0
crw-rw---- 1 root disk 27, 36 Jul 11 20:22 /dev/nrawqft0
crw-rw---- 1 root disk 27, 20 Jul 11 20:22 /dev/nzqft0
crw-rw---- 1 root disk 27, 0 Jul 11 20:22 /dev/qft0
crw-rw---- 1 root disk 27, 32 Jul 11 20:22 /dev/rawqft0
crw-rw---- 1 root disk 27, 16 Jul 11 20:22 /dev/zqft0
Otherwise try the ftape online documentation at

Hi, Yes, they are as in your listing - including major/minor device numbers.
