I am trying to backup my system on /dev/rst0 (SCSI tape drive). If I try to access the drive I get a 'device not configured' error. ----- # tar -cf /dev/rst0 / ----- tar: can't open /dev/rst0 : Device not configured But the device was configure on the Kernel: ---- controller scbus0 #base SCSI code ---- device ch0 #SCSI media changers ---- device sd0 #SCSI disks ---- device st0 #SCSI tapes And created on /dev: # ls -l rst0* crw-r----- 2 root operator 14, 0 Nov 2 21:08 rst0 crw-r----- 2 root operator 14, 0 Nov 2 21:08 rst0.0 crw-r----- 1 root operator 14, 4 Nov 2 21:08 rst0.1 crw-r----- 1 root operator 14, 8 Nov 2 21:08 rst0.2 crw-r----- 1 root operator 14, 12 Nov 2 21:08 rst0.3 And I am running the correct Kernel. I also check know for a fact that there is a tape on the drive. Sugestions ? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Raul Zighelboim e-mail: mango@communique.net Communique Inc.
