Hi,
I recently purchased the 4-CD version of FreeBSD 2.2.6 from Walnut Creek
CD-ROM. It installs great and everything but my Backup Tape drive
doesn't work. I have posted the question on comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc a
couple of times but couldn't get an answer, you guys are my last hope.
OK the tape drive is actually CTT8000 Internal IDE Minicartridge drive
by "Seagate" not CONNER with 4GB native and 8GB compressed capability.
It is connected to the primary IDE controller along with the CD-ROM
(both on the IDE port via 1 cable). I have SCSI hard drives. When the
machine boots up it actually sees the drive and echos:
wdc0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 14on isa
wdc0: unit 0(atapi): <FX820s/g01>, removeable, intr,dma,iordis
wdc0: unit 1(atapi):<CONNER CTT8000-A/2.0.7>, removeble, accel, iordis
wdc0: ATAPI streaming tapes not supported yet
OK so you see it recognizes the drive as a CONNER drive not Seagate
surprisingly with the right model # and at the end it says that it is
not supported yet, what does that mean ? please don't tell me that I
cannot use it with FreeBSD.
I tried doing a dump to /dev/wdc0 but it said no such device then I
tried to do a MAKEDEV wdc0 and it said something about bad super block.
I am lost and frustrated please help ! I'm not a unix expert so please
be clear on the instructions and don't tell me to write my own driver
either cause I know I cannot do it :)
The second problem is with the new Quantum Atlas II 4.5 GB SCSI-3 drive
that I'm using with an 80 to 68 pins adapter. I have the FreeBSD OS on a
2.1 GB drive and I mount the 4.5GB on /u02 after creating a file system
(single slice) for the full capacity of the drive. Then when I do a cd
/u02 it says u02 is not a directory, then I went to /stand/sysinstall
and finally got it to mount it but when I tried to copy /var to /u02 it
said something like parity write error and bunch of other errors rolled
off of the screen among which there were several retries. Finally, when
I looked in the /u02 it seemed like some of the stuff was actually
copied. Any ideas what's going on ? it works fine under DOS. I doubt I
have create small slices of 2GB like DOS or do I ?
Thanks for your time and patience, I say patience cause I know you
probably get thousands of emails from clueless people like me asking
stupid questions but believe me I tried all of my resources before
writing to you.
Thanks again
Russell
