I am having a problem with a new Exabyte Magnum 1x7 LTO-2 autoloader on my RHL 9.0 system. The tape drive is recognized, but it is extremely sl-o-o-o-w. I can't find an RPM
for RHL 9 above the one already on my system (mt-st-0.7-10.1.i386), but I have found mt-st-0.7-13.1.i386 for fedora.


Would this rpm work on my RHL 9 system?


Maybe you should try.
Download the src rpm and recompile.

rpmbuild --rebuild [name_of_src-rpm]

Then look under /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386
If all went fine you see it there.

Thanks, I will try it. Your suggestion of rebuilding it from the source is a good one- I never thought of that. I am used to installing the binaries from rpm, but installing from source should reduce the risk of any Fedora-specific kernel issues causing problems. It's a production server, so I really want to make sure I don't break things...
