Hi, I just upgraded from 4.2 to 4.4 Release. I made dumps of my filesystem to an internal 20 GB atapi tape drive prior to the upgrade. I read the release notes about the wd compatibility being dropped, but my previous kernel used atapist for the tape device, so I didn't think I would have trouble with it. Silly me. The dmesg info is: <snipped for brevity> SMP: AP CPU #1 Launched! ad0: 19458MB <ST320420A> [39535/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA33 acd0: CDROM <FX400_02> at ata1-master using PIO3 ast0: TAPE <HP COLORADO 20GB> at ata1-slave using PIO4 Waiting 15 seconds for SCSI devices to settle sa0 at ahc0 bus 0 target 2 lun 0 sa0: <EXABYTE EXB-89008E000112 V38b> Removable Sequential Access SCSI-2 device sa0: 10.000MB/s transfers (10.000MHz, offset 15) Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1a I created the device ast0 in /dev which added nrast0 and rast0, but I'm having trouble getting the device to work. humpty# mt errstat mt: /dev/nrast0: Inappropriate ioctl for device It looks like it's choking on the driver. I guess cheap is as cheap does. I can install the old release and atapi drive to another box and rsync, but what a PITA! Is there something simple (usually is) that I'm forgetting here? TIA *note: I have since installed an Exabyte SCSI tape. -- Michael Galvez Information Technology Specialist III E-Mail: mrg8n@virginia.edu University of Virginia Office: 804-982-2975 Baruch's Observation: If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
