I used the settings for the kernel config lines from someone else who has a non-PnP Awe 32, and configured the port, irq, and dma's according to what Windows 95 tells me the card is set to. Unfortunately it still doesn't recognise the card.. Figuring the PnP bios was probably confusing the detect code, I borrowed the older Awe 32, and my kernel found his card fine.. So, my questions are: 1) Is there some relatively simple change I can make to the kernel detect code so that freebsd can find my awe 32? 2) Will this be a problem on all PnP cards out there? 3) Does 2.1 handle PnP cards correctly? Or even better does it handle the Awe 32 Pnp card? :^) Thanks for any help.

None; DAT is the way to go. As you've observed, the format was engineered to survive in the "professional audio" environment, so it's actually quite rugged and fault tolerant. Once you have a DAT drive that works, (I've heard nasty stories about the Conner units, but countless good ones about the WangDAT, HP and Sony ones) you're laughing. Don't buy a unit with hardware compression unless you're certain that you will be backing up easily-compressible data; I've found that compressing units actually run _slower_ than non-compressing ones if you feed them tough data, and gzip does a better job compaction-wise anyway. > Michel Joly de Lotbiniere -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] My car has "demand start" -Terry Lambert UNIX: live FreeBSD or die!

According to the man page B=no. of blocks and b= blocksize. So, in the absence of other information i'd expect dump 0uBbf 160000 10 /dev/nrst0 /usr and dump 0uBbf 1600000 1 /dev/nrst0 /usr to take up the same amount of tape. In fact, dump calculates 2.4 tapes for the first command and 0.24 for the second. (I'd give you the actual output from dump, but I just tried to do that and my system froze up - see below.) If I let the command run, the intermediate messages, and demands for tapes, match the calculations. This isn't quite the end, though. If I make a dump according to the second command it appears to complete. If I then rewind the tape and try to wind to the end of the dump (a simple test of a clean tape file, besides, I'd like to use the rest of the tape) using these commands - mt rewind mt fsf 1 the rewind works normally. The second command starts the tape winding, but it never stops. It sounds as though the tape winds to the end, rewinds, and then starts winding again. I have left this running for 15 minutes. If I interrupt the command, the system gradually freezes - as below. I originally posted this to 'hardware' because I'm suspicious of the tape drive, but the fact that this behaviour seems confined to the dump command has me confused. If I tar a file on to a tape, I can use 'mt fsf 1' to move past it without trouble. I should also add that my system is, otherwise, very reliable. Nothing else causes crashes or freezes of this kind. Sorry to be so long-winded, but this is annoying and I'm concerned about only having tar-style backups. John > > Hi, > > > > I have a Conner CTMS tape drive.

If the patch is required I'd like to push someone to apply it before rolling 2.1 so we don't have to answer the same question for the next 6 months.
