Hi ! I'm used to power down my external tape, because the fan's are a bit loud. But FreeBSD can't recognize the tape, if it wasn't ,on' while booting. On SunOS 4 the scsi tape driver does an inquiry as soon as you write onto the tape device. SunOS5 with it's dynamically kernel driver allows you to rescan the systems devices with a ,drvconfig' command, which scans the hardware. Is there a utility in FreeBSD-current, which causes a tape to be recognizes after booting ? I hardwired my scsi devices, but that didn't help. controller ahc0 controller scbus0 at ahc0 disk sd0 at scbus0 target 0 disk sd1 at scbus0 target 1 tape st0 at scbus0 target 4 device cd0 at scbus0 target 6 Would be nice, if someone could help me.
