Re: Problem with Streamer DAT

Officially, Hot-Plug DAT tape drives are not supported with Openserver. But you can try this wrokaround:
# mkdev tape

install SCSI tape drive with ciss driver, SCSI host adapter 0, SCSI Bus # 2, Target ID # 0 and LUN 0
Relink the kernel and reboot
check the sconf -v and make sure of the tape cofigruation
then try the TAR with the device name /dev/rStp0
