What do you mean, you can't get to the tape drive? What have you tried that lead you to this conclusion? The log excerpts below indicate the driver is finding it and attaching it to /dev/st0. You should see it with something like this: [root@charlesc root]# mt -f /dev/st0 status SCSI 2 tape drive: File number=-1, block number=-1, partition=0. Tape block size 0 bytes. Density code 0x0 (default). Soft error count since last status=0 General status bits on (50000): DR_OPEN IM_REP_EN Rather than something like this: [root@charlesc root]# mt -f /dev/st3 status /dev/st3: No such device or address Your drive should be at st0 if it's the first or only SCSI tape drive. > > Aug 27 12:57:31 penguin kernel: ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:00:0a.0[A] -> > GSI 11 (level, low) -> IRQ 11 > Aug 27 12:57:31 penguin kernel: scsi5 : Adaptec AIC7XXX EISA/VLB/PCI > SCSI HBA DRIVER, Rev 6.2.36 > Aug 27 12:57:31 penguin kernel: <Adaptec 2940 SCSI adapter> > Aug 27 12:57:31 penguin kernel: aic7870: Single Channel A, SCSI > Id=7, 16/253 SCBs > Aug 27 12:57:31 penguin kernel: > Aug 27 12:57:49 penguin kernel: (scsi5:A:4): 5.000MB/s transfers > (5.000MHz, offset 15) > Aug 27 12:57:49 penguin kernel: Vendor: CONNER Model: CTT8000-S > Rev: 1.17 > Aug 27 12:57:49 penguin kernel: Type: Sequential-Access > ANSI SCSI revision: 02 > Aug 27 12:57:49 penguin kernel: Attached scsi tape st0 at scsi5, channel > 0, id 4, lun 0 > Aug 27 12:57:49 penguin kernel: st0: try direct i/o: yes (alignment 512 > B), max page reachable by HBA 1048575 > Aug 27 12:57:49 penguin kernel: Attached scsi generic sg5 at scsi5, > channel 0, id 4, lun 0, type 1 This looks like FC2 (2.6 kernel).
