I have recently acquired a SCSI CTT8000 Tape Drive (4/8 GB Travan SCSI)
and got it recognized on a new AHA 2940 card. Even though it reports as
there in /proc/scsi/scsi and I can see it through xbru, every attempt to
read/write fails. Example:
From /usr/src/linux
------------------------------------------------------------------
tar -cvf /dev/nst0 *
COPYING
tar: Cannot write to /dev/nst0: Input/output error
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now.
------------------------------------------------------------------
* The tape is at SCSI ID: 0
Here is the output from 'cat /proc/scsi/scsi'
------------------------------------------------------------------
Attached devices:
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
Vendor: CONNER Model: CTT8000-S Rev: 1.17
Type: Sequential-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
------------------------------------------------------------------
Output from 'cat /proc/devices'
------------------------------------------------------------------
Character devices:
1 mem
2 pty
3 ttyp
4 ttyp
5 cua
7 vcs
9 st
10 misc
Block devices:
2 fd
3 ide0
22 ide1
----------------------------------------------------------------
Any ideas are appreciated.
