With some help from here, I was able to get this RAID card to see our external DLT (QUANTUM 4000) SCSI tape drive by installing the aacp (pass through) driver in addition to the aac driver. camcontrol now works, as do basic mt commands and amcheck (amanda check). However, (amanda) dumps either hang, fail completely or fail after transfering very little data. On the console, I see: (sa0:aacp1:0:4:0): READ(06). CDB8 0 0 0 20 0 0 (sa0:aacp1:0:4:0): NO SENSE ILI (length mismatch): -24576 csi:0,0,0,1 At this point the device is completely unresponsive, and the only way to get the system to see it again is to reboot the whole server. I tried ordering a 3 ft cable, thinking I was pushing my luck with the 6 ft (I've had this problem with SCSI cables in the past), but the problem persists. The same drive (which has an active terminator) has been working fine for years on a different box using an Intel L440GX+ MB's on-board SCSI port.

Are you sure you are running a recent fw on your DLT4k? My DLTs used to behave badly with early fw revisions. Check out http://www.quantum.com/am/service_support/downloads/software/dlt4000.htm You can upgrade it by tape or use my software for updating the fw of SCSI devices on FreeBSD. -Andre > > James Smallacombe PlantageNet, Inc.

Note that the error messages that you are seeing are coming from the Adaptec firmware, not FreeBSD or the aac driver. Also, the aacp device and backing firmware support are really just hacks that exist to allow cdroms to be booted and drives to be flashed with new firmware. I've never heard of anyone running a tape drive in this fashion, so it will be quite interesting to see if newer firmware helps.

Am I right that the 6th drive is > 'the hot spare' in this case? It probably is, unless they're using a "built in spare" or something like that. (If you reduce the capacity used on each drive by drivecapacity / (N - 1), where N is the number of drives in the array (in this case 6), you could probably use the leftover space on the remaining drives to reconstruct onto instead of reconstructing onto a spare drive. The only thing that would really buy you would be that you would be exercising your spare drive, and you'd have an extra spindle. Probably not generally worth it.) In any case, you should be able to figure out from the utility or the BIOS which drive is the spare. Ken -- Kenneth Merry ken@kdm.org
