[-- Attachment #1 --] I 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 I have tried using a simple mt -f /dev/nast0 rewind, and the system hangs with this process running. I can't kill the process either. I have to reboot to get out. I used mt -f /dev/nast0 status and got the output below. I have tried /dev/ast0 and that hangs as well. 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.
