by I need advice regarding my SCSI tape drive not working.
Its a WangDAT mechanism on an Adaptec AHA2940 (not Wide, not Ultra-Wide,
just plain)
I've also got a Sony Spressa CD-Recorder/Reader and a small SCSI drive,
these work fine. Termination and cabling is all correct, SCSI addresses
are unique.
Below is my syslog. When I try a
#mt -f /dev/st0 erase
or
#mt -f /dev/rmt0
I get a permission denied. This is different, I used to get an I/O
error, but I recompiled the kernel with full support rather than modules
and kerneld. I also added the small SCSI drive so my SCSI host card
would load its BIOS.
Anyway, the only thing I can see from the messages below is that all
looks ok.
I also get a line
Detected scsi tape st0 at scsi0, channel 0, id 4, lun 0
in my /var/adm/messages file... things sem to be detected ok...
