I'm trying to get an HP DLT30 (system 'sees' it as a DEC DLT2000) with an Adaptec SCSI card (aic7xxx driver) to work on Fedora Core 2. And I seem to have run into all the problems listed on the 'testing your tape drive' page.

And here's my current configuration:
Device { Name = "Surestore30" Media Type = "8mm" Archive Device = /dev/nst0 Hardware end of medium = No Hardware End of File = no #Fast Forward Space File = no AutomaticMount = yes # when device opened, read it AlwaysOpen = Yes RemovableMedia = yes RandomAccess = no Block Positioning = no }
Greetings,
I don't know if this will be of any help, but I have a Compaq DLT2000XT external tape drive that is probably very close to your drive in specifications. Since HP bought Compaq who had bought DEC (Digital), it is not surprising that there are similarities between their DLT drives.
My config says:
Device {
Name = DLT3
Media Type = DLT3
Archive Device = /dev/nsa1
AutomaticMount = yes;
AlwaysOpen = yes;
RemovableMedia = yes;
RandomAccess = no;
Hardware End of Medium = no;
Fast Forward Space File = no;
BSF at EOM = yes;
Backward Space Record = no;
}I have only had the drive a couple of weeks, but so far regular full and incremental backups have worked fine.
