Re: Travan 3 Parallel Tape Backup in FreeBSD 4.10
Bill, Well... external drives ain't that cheap in Argentina, and we already got this tape (which fits well with the amount of data we want to backup), so we would really like to have it working.. :) Thanks anyway for the advice.

Travan 3 Parallel Tape Backup in FreeBSD 4.10
Hi, I'm trying to install an Imation Travan 3 parallel tape backup in a FreeBSD 4.10 box. Has FreeBSD support for it? I tried several things, including using the mt command with /dev/ppi0: # mt -f /dev/ppi0 status mt: Inappropriate ioctl for device And i don't know what that could mean. Any idea? I've been looking in the freebsd site, and the web, but I couldn't find any references to using this devices (only found a couple messages from mailing lists 8 years old asking if there was support for this kind of thing).
