This is my first experience with LTO3 tape. I was hoping that I'd automagically get a /dev/sa0 device like I always did with my old DLT drives but it wasn't to be this time. > > > > Is there a way to make this drive work? > > I'd check the cabling etc.. > > I have an LTO2 drive that "Just works (tm)". > > Can you boot a Linux ISO and see if that finds it? I would recommend you two compare comparing DIP switch or jumper settings, as well as firmware versions. Many tape drives have "compatibility" switches, and firmware versions play a huge role. SCSI card settings (within the SCSI BIOS) would also play a large role here. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, US | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
