I am trying to do a backup on a Seagate ATAPI tape. The boot messages are wdc1: unit1 (atapi): <Seagate STT8000A/5.02>, removable,accel,dma,iordis wst0: Drive empty, readonly, reverse,qfa,ecc,512b wst0: Max speed=600Kb/s, Transfer limit=52 blocks, Buffer size=728 blocks This seems OK. Now what? The command dump -0f /dev/rwst0 /var gives a controller not ready error and a media sense error but does write something on the tape. When I go into dos I have to re-initialize it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Jim Chapman To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
