Hi there I have installed an HP SureStore 24x6 tape unit onto my machine. However, I just can't get it working. Basically, I get the following:- # tar -c /etc tar: can't open /dev/rsa0 : Device not configured OR.... # dump -0u / DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Wed Mar 28 09:35:55 2001 DUMP: Date of last level 0 dump: the epoch DUMP: Dumping /dev/ad0s1a (/) to /dev/rsa0 DUMP: mapping (Pass I) [regular files] DUMP: mapping (Pass II) [directories] DUMP: estimated 35459 tape blocks on 0.91 tape(s). DUMP: Cannot open output "/dev/rsa0". I've been madly rtfm'ing and read posts re: kernel and MAKEDEV. I've tried all this (ie made a new kernel with the following:- # SCSI peripherals device scbus # SCSI bus (required) device ch # SCSI changers device da # Direct Access (disks) device sa # Sequential Access (tape etc) device cd # CD device pass # Passthrough device (direct SCSI access) and then done the sh MAKEDEV ch0 and sh MAKEDEV sa0 but no joy. Still getting the same error. Here's part of the dmesg output:- ahc0: <Adaptec aic7895 Ultra SCSI adapter> port 0xe800-0xe8ff mem 0xeb000000-0xeb000fff irq 11 at device 12.0 on pci0 aic7895C: Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 32/255 SCBs ahc1: <Adaptec aic7895 Ultra SCSI adapter> port 0xec00-0xecff mem 0xeb002000-0xeb002fff irq 11 at device 12.1 on pci0 ahc1: Using left over BIOS settings aic7895C: Wide Channel B, SCSI Id=7, 32/255 SCBs sa0 at ahc0 bus 0 target 4 lun 0 sa0: <HP C1557A U812> Removable Sequential Access SCSI-2 device sa0: 10.000MB/s transfers (10.000MHz, offset 15) sa1 at ahc0 bus 0 target 4 lun 1 sa1: <HP C1557A U812> Removable Sequential Access SCSI-2 device sa1: 10.000MB/s transfers (10.000MHz, offset 15) Any ideas anyone? ______________________________________________ FREE Personalized Email at Mail.com Sign up at http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
