Hello, I'm attempting to get a SCSI Sony SDT-9000 tapedrive setup. It's been on the machine, but hasn't been used recently. I want to use it, but i noticed there was no "/dev/st0" or anything like that. We ran modconfig and added the st module and it detected in the messages file. Why isn't there any /dev/???? for the tape drive? Do I make the device manually? if so, how? What's the correct procedure to get the /dev/st0 and i beleive /dev/nst0?
Here is part of "dmesg" that is related to the tape drive. (scsi0:0:6:0) Synchronous at 10.0 Mbyte/sec, offset 15. Vendor: SONY Model: SDT-9000 Rev: 0123 Type: Sequential-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 and st: bufsize 32768, wrt 30720, max buffers 4, s/g segs 16. Detected scsi tape st0 at scsi0, channel 0, id 6, lun 0 Thanks in advanced. also what package is the utility "write" in?
