Today I tried to move the DLT (Quantum 4000) over to this server to make it the amanda server, so I plugged it into the controller's external port for channel 1. When I do, neither amanda or mt will see the device, I get: mt: /dev/nsa0: Device not configured I tried rebooting (production box, but it had to be tried) and the Adaptec BIOS correctly recognized the device, but I still got that error. I tried moving the SCSI cable to the channel 0 port, but that caused serious panics and an ugly fscking power-cycle. Since the disk array is on that channel, I won't try that again. Back to channel 1. Power cycling the tape drive repeatedly throughout this had no effect. I even did a "sh MAKEDEV sa1", thinking that maybe the "0" in "sa0" might have had something to do with the channel ID. No dice. I'm all out of ideas, and would appreciate if anyone could spare a clue. Please reply by cc'ing me directly as I am not subscribed to the lists. TIA! James Smallacombe PlantageNet, Inc.
