"mt -f /dev/ast0 status" gives me kernel errors: ast0: TEST_UNIT_READY - MEDIUM ERROR asc=f0 ascq=2b error=00 ast0: REWIND - MEDIUM ERROR asc=f0 ascq=2b error=00 and attempts to read/write from tapes with tar or dd fail with similar errors. The drive worked with a particular version of netbsd-current, so I believe the hardware is ok. This is a new installation of freebsd 4.5, with the tape drive connected to a second pci card. A hard drive (ad6) works through that card. I've seen several posts about ATA tapes with trouble in 4.5, but no resolutions.. does anyone know if this is fixed somehow? Thanks... more info below... some of the dmesg: atapci0: <Intel PIIX3 ATA controller> port 0xf000-0xf00f at device 7.1 on pci0 ata0: at 0x1f0 irq 14 on atapci0 ata1: at 0x170 irq 15 on atapci0 atapci1: <Promise TX2 ATA100 controller> port 0x7400-0x740f,0x7000-0x7003,0x6c00-0x 6c07,0x6800-0x6803,0x6400-0x6407 mem 0xe0000000-0xe0003fff irq 11 at device 13.0 on pci0 ata2: at 0x6400 on atapci1 ata3: at 0x6c00 on atapci1 ... ad0: 4112MB <WDC WD43AA> [8355/16/63] at ata0-master WDMA2 ad1: 4112MB <WDC WD43AA> [8355/16/63] at ata0-slave WDMA2 ata1-master: DMA limited to UDMA33, non-ATA66 compliant cable ad2: 4112MB <WDC WD43AA> [8355/16/63] at ata1-master WDMA2 ad4: 4112MB <WDC AC14300R> [8912/15/63] at ata2-master UDMA33 ad5: 4112MB <WDC WD43AA> [8355/16/63] at ata2-slave UDMA33 ata3-master: DMA limited to UDMA33, non-ATA66 compliant cable ad6: 4112MB <WDC WD43AA> [8355/16/63] at ata3-master UDMA33 acd0: CDROM <ATAPI CD-ROM DRIVE 40X MAXIMUM> at ata1-slave using PIO4 ast0: TAPE <Seagate STT8000A> at ata3-slave using PIO4 Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1a ... mt -f /dev/ast0 status result: Mode Density Blocksize bpi Compression Current: 0x01:X3.22-1983 512 bytes 800 none ---------available modes--------- 0: default variable 0 none 1: default variable 0 none 2: default variable 0 none 3: default variable 0 none --------------------------------- File Number: 0 Record Number: 0 Residual Count 0 but this results in the kernel errors: ast0: TEST_UNIT_READY - MEDIUM ERROR asc=f0 ascq=2b error=00 ast0: REWIND - MEDIUM ERROR asc=f0 ascq=2b error=00 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
