I have a Onstream SCSI backup drive attached to a Adaptec AIC7XXX

what I should be doing, I've done some hunting around the Net but

on boot up i see this
scsi0 : Adaptec AIC7XXX EISA/VLB/PCI SCSI HBA DRIVER, Rev 6.2.36
<Adaptec 2902/04/10/15/20C/30C SCSI adapter>
aic7850: Single Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 3/253 SCBs
(scsi0:A:4): 10.000MB/s transfers (10.000MHz, offset 7)
Vendor: OnStream Model: SC-50 Rev: 1.09
Type: Sequential-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
st: Version 20040403, fixed bufsize 32768, s/g segs 256
st: Found incompatible tape at scsi0, channel 0, id 4, lun 0
st: The suggested driver is osst.
I can load the module for osst, but there is no /dev/osstx. I've
tried running MAKEDEV -n -v update but get the following
/sbin/MAKEDEV: don't know what "osst" is
I'm at a real loss, any / all help trying to get this thing working
would be great. I'm using Debian 3.1 on kernel-image 2.6.8-2.
All I'm really wanted to do is use it to backup my Maildir folders.
From devices.txt (distributed with the Kernel sources), /dev/osst0
is a
character device with major 206 and minor 0.
There are other devices for other modes:
/dev/osst0l : c 206 32
/dev/osst0m : c 206 64
/dev/osst0a : c 206 96
/dev/nosst0 : c 206 128
/dev/nosst0l : c 206 160
/dev/nosst0m : c 206 192
/dev/nosst0a : c 206 224
I own a DAT tape drive which uses the standard st driver, the
meaning of
the different modes is configured in /etc/stinit.def from the mt-st
package.

Hi Philippe,
Many thanks for your reply, I notice that you refer to mt-st and /etc/
stinit.def of which i have neither. YOu also mention kernel
sources. I guess moving forward.
Do i need to compile my own kernel? and as I'm missing these files is
there a procedure I should be following to set things up properly. or
apps that I need that I'm not aware of.
the /dev/ stuff you've listed I know have any of why is that? how can
i change it so that the correct devices show up?.
Many thannks
Gabe
