Looking at my dds drive under 2.1.6, I see this when it probes at boot: (ahc0:4:0): "WANGTEK 6130-HS 4G16" type 1 removable SCSI 2 st0(ahc0:4:0): Sequential-Access density code 0x13, drive empty (the drive wasn't empty, btw...) now, if I do an "mt status", I see the following: Present Mode: Density = X3B5/88-185A Blocksize variable ---------available modes--------- Mode 0: Density = 0x00 Blocksize variable Mode 1: Density = 0x00 Blocksize variable Mode 2: Density = 0x00 Blocksize variable Mode 3: Density = 0x00 Blocksize variable how do I use the different density codes, if at all, that are alluded to by "density code 0x13" ? also, is anyone working on making "mt status" return something like what you get on SunOS4: /dev/nrst0: no tape loaded or drive offline and Exabyte EXB-8200 8mm tape drive: sense key(0x6)= unit attention residual= 0 retries= 0 file no= 0 block no= 0 - I'm sure you can see the difference in usefulness.
