Hi, In my former thread i have ask what device my SCSI tapedrive could have and i got a lot of answers, but none of the devices people on this list have are present on my machine: Linux rivendell 2.6.9-gentoo-r6 #13 Sat Mar 26 15:10:25 CET 2005 i686 Pentium III (Coppermine) GenuineIntel GNU/Linux. The kernel knows my SCSI devices: rivendell root # cat /proc/scsi/scsi Attached devices: Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: SEAGATE Model: ST336706LW Rev: 0108 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 03 Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 04 Lun: 00 Vendor: HP Model: C1537A Rev: L708 Type: Sequential-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
According to tapeinfo -f /dev/sg1 there is a tape-drive connected but it can't see the inserted tape Product Type: Tape Drive Vendor ID: 'HP ' Product ID: 'C1537A ' Revision: 'L708' Attached Changer: No MinBlock:1 MaxBlock:16777215 SCSI ID: 4 SCSI LUN: 0 Ready: yes BufferedMode: yes Medium Type: Not Loaded <------------ Density Code: 0x25 BlockSize: 0 DataCompEnabled: yes DataCompCapable: yes DataDeCompEnabled: yes CompType: 0x20 DeCompType: 0x0 BOP: yes Block Position: 0 /dev/sg1 witch is the tape-drive points to 0 lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 36 Mar 28 16:38 /dev/sg1 -> scsi/host0/bus0/target4/lun0/generic If i take a closer look to /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/targetX i see for target0 a SCSI disc : 0 drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 Jan 1 1970 . 0 drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 Jan 1 1970 .. 0 brw------- 1 root root 8, 0 Jan 1 1970 disc 0 crw-rw---- 1 root cdrw 21, 0 Jan 1 1970 generic 0 brw------- 1 root root 8, 1 Jan 1 1970 part1 and for target4 0 drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 Jan 1 1970 . 0 drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 Jan 1 1970 .. 0 crw-rw---- 1 root cdrw 21, 1 Jan 1 1970 generic I have the impression that my system does not know that target4 is a tape-drive.
