Dhir" To: stable@freebsd.org Subject: Ontream ADR50 Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hey all - I'm trying to get an Onstream ADR50 drive working with FreeBSD-stable. I bought the drive because Onstream's site claims that this drive works under FreeBSD (basically, it should act like a 'normal' SCSI tape drive unlike their older line of SCxx drives which don't). Unfortunately, this one isn't working either. I'm hoping the problem is something I'm doing wrong. Anytime I try to do any operation with the drive, I get an "Invalid Argument" error from mt. I.e.: [root@dipper:~] mt rew mt: /dev/nrsa0: Invalid argument The only thing I can do is: [root@dipper:~] mt -f /dev/rsa0.ctl status Mode Density Blocksize bpi Compression Current: default 32768 bytes 0 disabled ---------available modes--------- 0: default 32768 bytes 0 0x3 1: default 32768 bytes 0 0x3 2: default 32768 bytes 0 0x3 3: default 32768 bytes 0 0x3 --------------------------------- Current Driver State: at rest. Anything else with the drive, including dump, tar, etc, ends with an error. In dump's case, its something like 'could not open output'. I'm guessing the problem has something to do with our sa driver. Can anyone suggest a workaround other than returning the drive?
