I have looked high and low on the site for information on tape drives. I own three tape drives (A conner CTT800I-F, Colorado 250 and a Archive 31250Q Floppy Adapter Tape Drive). I've tried every possible configuration that i could find on the site and have not been able to get to work properly, nor have i seen any thing that would indicate that they wouldn't work. I've been an steady and avid freebsd user 2.2.5 and have always been pleased with the way freebsd shines. I like it so much that it is the predominate OS on my network (5 out of the 11 machines (5 fbsd, 4 Solaris, 1 NeXT and 1 win). Where was I? Oh, what is the best choice of tape media for a fbsd system? I'm grasping at straws at this point in time as I've tried drive after drive after drive. If i remember, in early releases floppy adapter tape drives were viewed as /dev/ft0 -- not anymore. I'm trying to find a way to access these (or one) drives. The handbooks/backups-tapebackups.html#BACKUPs-TAPEBACKUS-MINI looks as if it has been dumped into the /dev/null so i don't know if i should take that to mean that those series of drives are no longer supported or if they are under development. thanks archibald hive To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
