I just changed my longtime Amanda server from BSDI to FBSD 4.4-Stable and I'm not sure if I'm using the correct tape device.
Here's what dmesg shows: sa0 at ahc0 bus 0 target 6 lun 0 sa0: <SEAGATE DAT 06240-XXX 8071> Removable Sequential Access SCSI-3 device sa0: 80.000MB/s transfers (40.000MHz, offset 32, 16bit) So for the non-rewinding tape device I put in /dev/nsa0, which seems to make sense after reading the mt and sa man pages (I know, I shouldn't be RTFM'ing before hand, but oh well ;). So, when I try to access the drive by running amflush I get this kernel message: (sa0:ahc0:0:6:0): tape is now frozen- use an OFFLINE, REWIND or MTEOM command to clear this state. so I run 'mt -f /dev/nsa0 rewind' and things appear to be okay, but I still get that error. Also tried this: # dump 0f /dev/nsa0 /etc DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Mon Apr 1 17:27:47 2002 DUMP: Date of last level 0 dump: the epoch DUMP: Dumping /etc to /dev/nsa0 DUMP: bad sblock magic number DUMP: The ENTIRE dump is aborted. Any suggestions?
