I am having problems using my Sony SDT-9000 DDS3 capable drive. Recently it appears that the drive will no longer seek. One item which was brought to my attention was the following messages (from dmesg) on boot.
aic7xxx: <Adaptec AHA-294X SCSI host adapter> at PCI 0/9/0 aic7xxx: I/O ports already in use, ignoring. st: bufsize 32768, wrt 30720, max buffers 5, s/g segs 16. Detected scsi tape st0 at scsi0, channel 0, id 6, lun 0 Unable to get major 9 for SCSI tapes Has anyone experienced this before??? I have already checked the /dev directory and have the following: [root@access /root]# ls -l /dev/*st0 crw-rw---- 1 root disk 9, 128 Sep 27 2000 /dev/nst0 crw-r--r-- 1 root root 9, 0 Dec 13 15:04 /dev/rst0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root disk 9, 0 Sep 27 2000 /dev/st0 I created the /dev/rst0 device hoping to alleviate the problem, with no luck. TIA for your assistance. -- Albert E.
