Anyway, after I add the device, it shows up fine in /proc/scsi/sci, and I can write to it, but it is extremely slow. I got about 30MB written in 5 minutes! Has anyone else had any experience with LTO-2 devices on Fedora or RHL 9 systems, and is there anything I can do to recreate device files or anything to speed it up?
Also, do you know if I do a "mknod -m 666 /dev/st0 c 9 0" with the tape drive hooked up, does it do anything different than if there wasn't one installed? Like read the status bits on the drive to tell what it's capabilities are?
-TIA, -Tom
