Its a Exabyte EXB10H . I do have the 2940 up and running im running a 12 gig scsi drive. No help from Exabyte. I know I need scsi tape compiled into the kernel. Will linux see the library on boot? Will it autoprobe for it? Can i manually start autoprobe? On Wed, 9 Aug 2000, John Rundgren wrote:

Well, I don't know about a library, but for a plain tape dirve you'll need: kernel SCSI tape support kernel or module support for Adaptec AIC7xxx Your device should show up /dev/st0. Changer commands, I don't know. mt -f /dev/st0 is your tape control tar, cpio etc. for backups Stew Benedic

Kind of a silly question hereBut what model/library is it? Have you looked at Exabyte's site? http://www.exabyte.com/ Have you looked at the Linux Tape Device Certification site? http://www.linuxtapecert.org/ Is the 2940 card already installed and working? Or is this a new install as well
