I'm trying to get a IDE Tape Drive to be recognized by the backup software (Tapeware). I see that the device is loaded as /dev/hdb in the /var/log/boot.msg (<4>hdb: Seagate STT3401A, ATAPI TAPE drive) but when I try to execute:
mt -f /dev/hdb setblk 0
I receive:
mt: /dev/hdb: No such device or address
same with hdb1 etc.

kernel 2.6.5-7.267-smp on SuSe Enterprise 9

Am I doing this wrong or is something broke?

Alex

Since the tape drive is /dev/hdb, does that mean that you have a hard drive at /dev/hda? I assume both drives are on the same IDE cable.

Next question: did you set the jumper on the hard drive to Master, and on the tape drive to Slave?

Is the tape drive identified in /etc/fstab with a device (/dev/hdb) and a mount point? If not, that would explain the 'no such device' error.

Last question: which distro are you using. Solutions that work in one distro may not work in another.

Tape drives are not mounted and therefore no entry in the /etc/fstab is required.
It does not appear that your tape drive is configured. You will need to add a kernel boot parameter to the bootloader to load the hdb=ide-tape.

The device ID for the drive will be /dev/ht0 and /dev/nht0 (does not rewind tape after command completion).

Loading the module via modprobe might work with out rebooting the PC.
modprobe ide-tape

There is a DVD/CD-R on position 2 of the cable (tape is on 1) and both are set to cable select. I'm using SuSe Enterprise 9 with all the latest updates from YasT as of yesterday. I tried to put the device inside /etc/fstab but it caused problems and forced the OS to start into safe mode. I currently have an entry as hdb=ide-scsi in startup I can change that to see if it makes a difference.

UPDATE:
The device is being detected inside of the SuSe equivelent of Device Manager, but it's showing it going to /dev/sda. I can do a mt -f /dev/st0 status and see the tape info, but the dumb program still isnt picking it up.

Posting startup log in the next 2 posts.
