I originally sent it via a news to mail gateway whch doesn't seem to be properly configured, so I'm sending again directly to the list). I'm running FreeBSD 2.2.2 on a server machine and this weekend I added a DDS-2 autoloader to get automated backups. FreeBSD will recognize the drive as a DDS drive, but doesn't see it as a changer, so the ch device and chio programs do not work. Here is the kernel output during probe: (ahc0:5:0): "ARCHIVE Python 29987-XXX 5AB" type 1 removable SCSI 2 st0(ahc0:5:0): Sequential-Access density code 0x13, drive empty My kernel config is at http://www.phred.org/~alex/PHRED. The machine is a Pentium 200MMX on an ASUS SP97-VX motherboard and has an Adaptec 2940 (might be a 2940U) SCSI adapter. Also configured on the SCSI bus are 2 2g disks (ID 0 and 1) and a Sanyo 4x CD-ROM drive (ID 2). Is this a known issue that was fixed in a later release of FreeBSD? If I pass the ch driver a specific target SCSI ID and LUN would it be expected to find the device? My goal is to have 3 tapes + 1 cleaning tape in the autoloader. My backup pattern would be: * Sunday - clean (using tape 4), full backup to tape 1, erase tape 3 * every other weekday - incremental backup to tape 3 * Sunday (week 2) - clean (using tape 4), full backup to tape 2, erase tape 3 * every other weekday - incremental backup to tape 3 * repeat I also make periodic manual full backups to other tapes and bring those offsite. thanks, alex To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
