I was wondering if anyone has used one of the new Onstream SC-30 or SC-50 SCSI tape drives with FreeBSD? We just purchased one for one of our systems and installed it. The kernel recognizes it at bootup: sa0 at ahc2 bus 0 target 5 lun 0 sa0: Removable Sequential Access SCSI-2 device sa0: 10.000MB/s transfers (10.000MHz, offset 7) However, when I try to back anything up to it, using either tar or dump, I get these messages: tar: Cannot open /dev/rsa0: Device not configured tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Tue May 25 17:01:35 1999 DUMP: Date of last level 0 dump: the epoch DUMP: Dumping /home/data to /dev/rsa0 DUMP: bad sblock magic number DUMP: The ENTIRE dump is aborted. I did make sure the device sa0 existed in /dev; it does. I even tried re-creating it with the MAKEDEV script; same problem. Support is compiled into the kernel, by the way. Any thoughs or suggestions? Thanks! ********************************************************************** * Bryce Newall * Email: data@dreamhaven.net * * WWW: http://www.dreamhaven.net/~data * ICQ: 32620929 * * "Insanity takes its toll.
