You are right, its "st" and it shows up
scsi_transport_spi 25281 1 aic7xxx
scsi_mod 134761 6
sd_mod,usb_storage,st,sg,aic7xxx,scsi_transport_spi
also dmesg shows the following entries:
scsi0 : Adaptec AIC7XXX EISA/VLB/PCI SCSI HBA DRIVER, Rev 7.0
<Adaptec 2940 SCSI adapter>
aic7870: Single Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 16/253 SCBs
Vendor: Quantum Model: DLT4000 CPQ DRV Rev: D473
Type: Sequential-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
target0:0:6: Beginning Domain Validation
target0:0:6: FAST-10 SCSI 10.0 MB/s ST (100 ns, offset 15)
target0:0:6: Domain Validation skipping write tests
target0:0:6: Ending Domain Validation
and then further down:
scsi 0:0:6:0: Attached scsi generic sg0 type 1
st: Version 20050830, fixed bufsize 32768, s/g segs 256
st 0:0:6:0: Attached scsi tape st0
st0: try direct i/o: yes (alignment 512 B)
So the system definitely sees the controller and tape drive, just any IO
to it hangs. I'm wondering, do I have a good drive?
