Greetings, I have recently installed a SONY SCSI tape drive onto my linux box. I would like to use the Taper program to back up my hard drive to tape. But I seem to be having a problem with getting the tape drive to work.
When I do a cat on /proc/scsi/scsi I get: Attached devices: Host: scsi1 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: SONY Model: SDX-300C Rev: 0300 Type: Sequential-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 So the OS is "seeing" the hardware. However when I try to tar or write to /dev/st0 I get an error saying device not found. Any insight onto this matter would be very much appreciated. Anthony
