Subject: Adaptec 29160 SCSI Card

I just finally stuck this in my server with which to hook up a
tape
drive. Kudzu detected it at boot up, but I don't see my tape drive
when
I go cdrecord -scanbus. I guess I need to load a module for that,
but
I'm not sure which one. And how do I make the load permanent now?

Thanks.

Do a 

dmesg | grep st 

at the command prompt.

If its really a tape drive you will see an output line that tells
you about /dev/stx with x being a number. At that point the system
with have seen the tape drive.

Our server shows these 2 lines among others:

st: Version 20030406, bufsize 32768, max init. bufs 4, s/g segs 16

st0: Block limits 1 - 16777215 bytes.

This tells me that the tape drive is /dev/st0

We have a SCSI CDROM and a Quantum DLT4000 on the SCSI bus.

The whole readout of SCSI devices in dmesg looks like this:

scsi0 : sym53c8xx-1.7.3c-20010512
blk: queue c3e41218, I/O limit 4095Mb (mask 0xffffffff)
  Vendor: PLEXTOR   Model: CD-ROM PX-40TS    Rev: 1.12
  Type:   CD-ROM                             ANSI SCSI revision:
02
blk: queue c3e41018, I/O limit 4095Mb (mask 0xffffffff)
  Vendor: Quantum   Model: DLT4000           Rev: D782
  Type:   Sequential-Access                  ANSI SCSI revision:
02
blk: queue f7fb3e18, I/O limit 4095Mb (mask 0xffffffff)

Snipped....

st: Version 20030406, bufsize 32768, max init. bufs 4, s/g segs 16
Attached scsi tape st0 at scsi0, channel 0, id 5, lun 0

Snipped.....

sym53c875-0-<5,*>: FAST-10 SCSI 10.0 MB/s (100.0 ns, offset 15)
st0: Block limits 1 - 16777215 bytes.

Hope this helps....

Did not know you could use cdrecord with a tape drive....

After this use tar to read and right tapes.
