Hi, In an effort to start backing up my file systems, I've installed an Adaptec 2944 Ultra SCSI adapter and an Exabyte EXB-8505DT (8mm/5gb) tape drive. I've compiled support for the SCSI adapter into my kernel and after rebooting, my system recognized it but for some reason, I can't access the tape drive. If I try to format a tape or create and send a tar archive to it, I just get the message "device not configured". The information in my books and The FreeBSD Handbook indicated that all SCSI controllers use the same set of /dev entries, so you don't need to create them. I've tried accessing my tape drive via the device listings /dev/nrsa0 and /dev/rsa0 and nothing works. Am I trying to use the wrong device? Is there something else I need to compile into my kernel? Any help or information on this would be appreciated. Thanks. Joe To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
