manual/Testing_Your_Tape_Drive.html#FreeBSDTapes) As far as I - not
being a FreeBSD user - understand it, you have to set the eotmodel
of the tape driver to fit with baculas setting.
Fixed block size should not be necessary with a SCSI ADR drive.
Arno,
can you or somebody on the list give me a hand here. I am finding that i am
unable to mount my onstream drive to /mnt. it appears taht freeBSD is
requiring the block device. how do I solve this problem?
you do not have mount /dev/sa* at all to read/write data to it. it
looks like the drive is configured ok judging by the output from mt
bellow. I would suggest reading the man pages for mt as well as sa to
get a better understanding of how FreeBSD, and unix in general, treat's
block devices.

---- snip ----
# mount /dev/sa0 /mnt
mount: /dev/sa0: Block device required
--- snip -----
here is what my setup script sent to the drive:
--- snip ---
# less tape.drive.setup.sh
#!/bin/sh
mt -f /dev/sa0 seteotmodel 1
mt -f /dev/sa0 blocksize 0
mt -f /dev/sa0 comp enable
--- snip ---
cheers,
Noah
