I did my own playing with 2.4.x on the 14gb model of this tape drive, all i've managed
to do is be able to write to the tape, but not read from it. Even in 2.2.x, putt
Tim,
Thanks for the input.
Sadly, it didn't work. I tried the SCSI emulation (which I already had running
on the CD-ROM, which works), but it fails for the tape.
With SCSI emulation turned on, the system recognizes the tape drive as SCSI.
However, an attempt at the following command:
mt -f /d
Use SCSI emulation instead of ATAPI for the tape device. Also make sure
your mt is >= 0.5.
[tim@abit tim]# mt -v
mt-st v. 0.5b
[tim@abit linux]# dump -v
dump 0.4b
[tim@abit linux]# restore -v
restore 0.4b17
[dmesg exerpts - tape is /dev/st0]

Hi,
I just upgraded from kernel 2.2.17 to 2.4.4. I use a Seagate ATAPI tape drive,
model STT2A. I use dump to do backups (probably not relevant).
I have more data regarding tape backup failures. Here is what I get:
* In a full tape dump of about 50MB or so, everything goes smoothly. No erro
