I recently went through this with my TEAC MT2-ST scsi tape drive. To get it to work, I had to add some stuff to the driver's database of quirks--the drive didn't support some of the commands the driver tried to use to identify it. If you can't get it to work any other way, I wrote up a summary of what I had to do and posted it here--you can find it by searching the archives for "teac mt2-st". Although the exact things I had to fiddle to make my drive work probably won't work for you, it might help as a guide/starting point. It was necessary to go this route because the defaults for the "unknown drive" were all wrong for me, and there doesn't seem to be any way short of the quirks table to inform the driver about the drive. Please try other things first, of course. -Greg To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
