I need help with an ATAPI tape. I have release 3.1 and a Seagate drive. I configured the kernel by adding a line device wst0 and rebuilding it. Now the tape looks OK when the system boots. When I give the command dump -0 -a -f /dev/rwst0 /var the drive works and I get the following closing /dev/rwst0 wst0: 2621440d total bytes transferred atapi1.1: controller not ready, status=c0<busy,ready>, error=c0 wst0: Sense media type failed and then the system hangs and I have to reboot. If I change the device for the dump to wst0 it creates a file of that name and writes the data to it. Should the kernel be configured with rwst0? I am stuck with this one and need guidance? The man page for wst just confused me more. Thanks, Jim Chapman To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
