Sounds like a great idea. I've got an Archive Python here, bought it used, and don't even know what the lights mean, let alone the internal dip switches, and that strange jack in the back. In other words, sure the drive works fine, but I doubt i'm using it properly.

The Archive Anaconda 2750S SCSI tape drive will not work with FreeBSD as shipped from the factory. Two kernel one-line kernel patches are required. The drive delivers excellent throughput, 370kB/sec with dump(8). These drives are no longer in production and can be purchased quite cheaply: ~$190. Physical Description

The tape drive is a 5 1/4" wide, half-height device. The medium gray plastic front panel has a green activity LED, a tape eject button, and a hinged plastic door that covers the tape slot. The door is spring loaded, and closes the tape slot when the tape is removed. While a tape is in the drive the door is held open by the tape. When loaded, the tape is completely within the body of the drive. The drive loads a tape automatically, it does not have a front panel slide lock. The body of the drive is made of cast metal. The printed circuit board is mounted on the top of the drive. (Customarily, the printed circuit board is mounted the bottom.) There are three pieces of fiber glass printed circuit board material mounted on the printed circuit board. Each piece is ~6mm high, and provide a minimum spacing above the electronics of the printed circuit board. The printed circuit board is silkscreened "Archive copyright 1992" and "anaconda main pcb 81422- rev 001" (the 001 is hand written. Physical Connectors and jumpers

The drive has one 50 pin SCSI connector, one 4 pin power connector and seven jumpers. The SCSI connector is mounted upside down on the printed circuit board. Pin 1 on the SCSI connector is farthest from the power connector and the SCSI connector keyway (cut-out) faces downward rather than upward. If this drive is used on an internal SCSI chain, you must either twist the SCSI cable or mount the other drives upside down. The drive has three single inline sockets for SCSI terminator resistor packages. Jumper Function (default) ------ ------------------ 1 SCSI id bit 0 (open) 2 SCSI id bit 1 (open) 3 SCSI id bit 2 (open) 4 Reserved (open) 5 Parity Enable (open, disabled) 6 SCSI-1 or SCSI-2 (open, SCSI-1) 7 Terminator Power Enable (open, disabled)

Before using the drive, place jumpers to select the SCSI id. Enable parity by shorting jumper 5. If you are using a SCSI-2 controller, short jumper 6. If the tape drive is the first or the last device in the SCSI chain, insert SCSI termination resistor packs in the sockets and short jumper 7.

The kernel uses the st(4) device driver to control the tape drive. Each SCSI tape drive requires its own device entry in the kernel config file. Your kernel must be configured with these devices in addition to a SCSI controller (e.g. ncr0, aha0): controller ncr0 controller scbus0 device st0 Kernel Patches

These patches are for the NCR83c510 controller, ncr.c. (You may need to adjust the line numbers to accomodate changes in the source file that have occurred since these notes were written.) /src/sys/pci/ncr.c *************** *** 4441,4447 **** OUTB (nc_ctest4, 0x08 ); /* enable master parity checking */ OUTB (nc_stest2, EXT ); /* Extended Sreq/Sack filtering */ OUTB (nc_stest3, TE ); /* TolerANT enable */ !

During boot, the kernel probes the SCSI busses for attached devices. Each device that is successfully probed and configured by the kernel is identified by its logical device number, SCSI controller, SCSI bus number, SCSI target (id) number, and LUN (logical unit number). I use the NCR 53c810 SCSI controller. The tape drive is target 4 on the second SCSI bus. It is the only SCSI tape drive, hence st0. The boot message depend on whether the drive is jumpered for SCSI-1 or SCSI-2 operation.

When configured for SCSI-1: (ncr1:4:0): "ARCHIVE ANCDA 2750 28077 -003" type 1 removable SCSI 1 st0(ncr1:4:0): Sequential-Access density code 0x12, drive empty

When configured for SCSI-2: (ncr1:4:0): "ARCHIVE ANCDA 2750 28077 -003" type 1 removable SCSI 2 st0(ncr1:4:0): Sequential-Access st0(ncr1:4:0): 200ns (5 Mb/sec) offset 8. density code 0x0, drive empty Operation

When a tape is inserted into the drive, two friction teeth grab the tape cartridge metal backing plate, draw the tape approximately 25mm into the drive, and then slide the tape foward and to the left. This movement opens the protective gate that covers the magnetic media and engages both the heads and the drive wheel. The drive will seek to the start of the data area on the tape.

The recommended parameters for dump(8) are a block size of 10kB per dump record and 1,200,000 records per dump records per volume. (e.g. /sbin/dump 0unBbf 1200000 10 /dev/rst0 /dev/sd1f.

I'm very sorry, that i did not do the above test earlier because it gives the very same result here: i too get the "ftp_read" error messages on an Adaptec 1742 with a plain 2.1-Release.

Thanks Hellmuth! Here are some crash dumps, one with a 'panic: page fault' from last week and some 'free vnode isn't' from last month. There haven't been any changes in the scsi system in -stable since then so it should still be relevant. I'll try to get more crash dumps and send them. I'll also compile the scsi code with debug. I'll be glad to do whatever else I can do to help track it down. Rich ---------------- I reinstalled a kernel from today's -stable sources but increased the '#define DK_NDRIVE 16' in dkstat.h. As far as I know all the other patches have been incorporated into -stable. I then triggered a panic with: for i in 0 1 2 3 do find /cd/$i >$i & done The backtrace is below. I'll be glad to try things and test changes, but I've not been able to track down the cause so far.

The first patch is already applied to both -current and -stable. There are other changes planned to the timeout handler, but I'm not absolutely sure about the details, yet. The 1200 seconds timeout before a SCSI bus reset does not cause any harm on a working system, and I'm not sure whether it is required at all (i.e. whether an infinite response time ought to be tolerated).

As you can read in the handbook: Thanks to Larry Altneu , and to Wilko Bulte , for providing us with a Wangtek and an Archive QIC-02 tape drive, in order to give us the hardware to improve the wt driver. ...i've also got a couple of these drives.

It's possible that it's 60 MB only, but later 5099's are reported to also be 150 MB. ``en24'' doesn't gimme a hint about SCSI vs. QIC-02. Does it have a SCSI connector, or a direct PCB connector (like 5.25in floppies, but 50-pin)? The latter is QIC-02. If so, try the `wt' driver.

I think the -current version will run on -stable with minor modifications (like taking out #include ). We don't have a -stable machine to test it here though.
