have a Seagate travan-5 IDE drive running on FreeBSD 4.6. The drive seems to be detecting correctly. ast0: Tape <Seagate STT20000A> at ata0-slave PI04 But after I send a command for the tape e.g. mt -f /dev/nast0 rewind, dump -0aunf /dev/nast0 /tmp, .. the system hangs after finishing the command. I can kill the process with an ABRT or KILL (sometimes I have to reboot, but that is may be my lack of knowledge). I used mt -f /dev/nast0 status and got the output below. This is the only command I can run without the system stopping. I have tried to use /dev/ast0, but that does the same if not worse. 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 I am trying to use this tape drive with either dump or tar for backups. I would really appreciate some help. I am stuck. I can't seem to find any info.
