Re: Configure DAT TAPE
Hello,
On a Linux system, the scsi tape drives are accessed through /dev/st0, /dev/st1...
Just a test : insert a tape into the device, then try to read/write data on it :
cd /tmp
tar cvf /dev/st0 .
tar tvf /dev/st0
Note one important thing : the driver for the scsi card used for your tape device normally should be loaded automatically. If this is not the case, you may configure your system to do so :
=> edit /etc/modules.conf and add :
alias scsi_hostadapter aic7xxx
(replace aic7xxx by the driver that best matches your scsi card).
=> type "depmod" -a to check the kernel module dependency graph.
Good luck.

Re: Configure DAT TAPE
Hi
Confirm if your system load st (scsi tape) driver into kernel.
# dmesg | grep st
# lsmod
or
Can you find your DDS drive in
# cat /proc/scsi/scsi
