Hello, I have a bit of a problem here.. I just set up a machine running FreeBSD 2.2.2-RELEASE. It is a pentium 133 with an adaptec 2940UW controller in it. I am running a single 4 Gig SCSI ultra wide srive internally and an Exabyte 8700 8mm tape externaly. There are 2 main problems.. 1) The drive keeps ejecting the tape. You put it back in 4 - 5 times then it will stay down until you do something with the drive. If you rewind the tape, write a header, or do a dump to the drive, when it is done it will eject the tape and you have to fight to get it to close. We are using the 112m Exabyte tape that came with the drive. Any ideas? 2) When I tar files to the drive things work fine. When I try to do a dump of the filesystem using amanda it locks the system up solid. I can ping and telnet to it, but I never get a login prompt. Any ideas on this one? Thanks in advance for you help.. Chris Walth walth@www.an.cc.mn.us
