I have just acquired a HP T4000s tape drive for my primary FreeBSD
machine, which is a mail/news/file/print server for my home net.
However, it doesn't want to do anything useful :-( (commands & results
below).
The drive is connected to the SCSI bus between the HD & CD-ROM, and
the terminating resistors were removed. I am not aware of any other
system "funnies" which might be attributable to poor SCSI cabling or
bad termination.
I notice from the boot probe (see below) that the drive appears to
have v1.05 firmware, compared to another recent posting to the list
having v1.06.
The system is stock 2.1.0 installed from CD-ROM. I have the 2.1.5 CD-ROM
(have held off installing on this system until I could back it up
adequately), and plan on snarfing a 2.1.6 CD-ROM as soon as they become
available here.
Any thoughts/advice appreciated & compliments of the season to all.
What follows are the results of my attempts to use the drive + the system
config & boot transcript. All commands issued as root.
An "mt status" results in:
---8<---8<---8<---
