Subject: Seagate Travan 20GB Atapi (IDE) tape drive
Has anyone successfully installed a Seagate
STT22A-RDT Travan 5 tape drive under RH 7.3 and gotten it to backup???
If so, what device name does it go by? I have one installed as the

You must add the following lines to the /etc/rc.local file:
modprobe ide-scsi # or insmod ide-scsi
hdparm -d0 /dev/hdx # where x = your tape drive (hdc or hdd perhaps?)
mt -f /dev/st0 stoptions no-blklimits
