Oops, AFAICS the required kernel module is called initio and this only exists for kernel 2.4. Bad luck for 2.6 (and though AMD64) i fear... My recommendation: get another SCSI controller. A cheaper one from e.g. Adaptec should be sufficient for the tapedrive. You could also try to compile the necessary kernel module yourself: set CONFIG_SCSI_INITIO=m in your kernel config. As far as Google is concerned this is not the way to go, though.

Re: scsi tape
Yes, I prefer tar since it only backs up files, not file systems. I can read and have different compression. Amongst all the other utilities. My controler is ':02:06.0 SCSI storage controller: Initio Corporation 360P (rev 02)'. What driver do I add,pls? Gavin.

Re: scsi tape
Hello, It seems your SCSI tape module loads fine but you have not loaded any module for your SCSI controller. Thus the tapedrive cannot be seen. What kind of SCSI controller do you have? lspci might tell you what controller it is and then you can load the appropriate module. When that is done try to insert a tape and then type `eject /dev/st0'. If that works you can use your tapedrive. Use tar, cpio, taper, mt or whatever to make your backups (see the appropriate manpages for info on how to use them). Personally I prefer tar.

However, 'lsmod|grep st st 40996 0 scsi_mod 129696 1 st'and 'cat /proc/scsi/scsi Attached devices:'. So, it may be installed but not working. How do I fix? Thanks, Gavin.

There should be a /proc/scsi/scsi by st driver I mean st.ko like: modinfo st (to see description) modprobe st (to install) mt-st is the package providing the mt tool to work with the st device.

Make sure /dev/st* and /dev/nst* exist (well if you are using udev or devfs then hopefully loading the st module creates something in /dev you can use). You can also check in /proc/scsi/scsi (using cat) if it has even found the tape device on the scsi bus. Maybe output of dmesg after loading the scsi driver and the st module would be helpful.

scsi tape
Hi, The mt-st [ackage is the latest I cannot finf st0 or sg package. When I try and use mt I get 'mt -f /dev/st0 eject /dev/st0: No such device or address' it appears I need a kernel module (st?), are these available on the list?

Dear list, I have scsi tape drive here and it isn't recognised by the system. Can anyone tell me which kernel/module to install. Thanks Gavin. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
