Message-ID: <20001026155132.H17432@Socrates.i-pi.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.2i Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I have an HP SCSI DAT tape (that works fine on other FreeBSD machines). However, on one, when I try to access it, I get the message: bash-2.04# mt status mt: /dev/nrsa0: Device not configured The drive is seen by the Adaptec 2940 controller during the pre-boot messages and the kernel itself sees it at boot time: ahc0: port 0xdc00-0xdcff mem 0xedfff000-0xedffffff irq 11 at device 13.0 on pci0 aic7880: Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 16/255 SCBs sa0 at ahc0 bus 0 target 5 lun 0 sa0: Removable Sequential Access SCSI-2 device sa0: 5.000MB/s transfers (5.000MHz, offset 8) uname -a says: FreeBSD wanmail.ara.com 4.1.1-STABLE FreeBSD 4.1.1-STABLE #4: Thu Oct 26 15:21:04 GMT 2000 ingham@gatekeeper.ara.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/GATEKEEPER i386 I removed the /dev/*sa* devices and remade them with MAKEDEV sa0. No change. All SCSI IDs are unique. The disks attached to the controller both work fine. This machine is running at securelevel 3. However, that did not affect other machines running at the same securelevel from accessing the drive. Any other ideas on what to try?
