Hi,
Hi,
I have been googling, and can't find anything that will help me:
mt -f /dev/st0 status
/dev/st0: No such device or address
Any suggestion?
I am using CentOS 3 [RHEL ES3 without the licenses]
The tape drive is recognized at boot [from dmesg]
scsi0 : Adaptec AIC7XXX EISA/VLB/PCI SCSI HBA DRIVER, Rev 6.2.36

I have this at one site: [herrold at server4 herrold]$ lsmod | grep x ext3 68960 9 jbd 51720 9 [ext3] aic7xxx 134560 0 scsi_mod 110876 4 [st megaraid aic7xxx sd_mod] [herrold at server4 herrold]$ cat /etc/modules.conf alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc alias eth0 eepro100 alias eth1 eepro100 alias scsi_hostadapter megaraid alias scsi_hostadapter aic7xxx [herrold at server4 herrold]$ In this case, the Raid array is on the megaraid driver, and the tape is a DLT all alone (in a Dell 4350) on the Adaptec controller. It has not been fired since Wednesday, but as I loaded the module in /etc/modules.conf it was not 'cleaned' out. - Russ Herrold
