Hi all, We have a server into which we've put a Sony AITi130a/S tape drive. Recompiled the kernel (2.4.24) to include ATAPI TAPE. On reboot, the logs indicate recognition of the drive: hdd: ~AÀ~AÀ~AÀ~AÀ~AÀ~AÀ~AÀ~AÀ~AÀ~AÀ~AÀ~AÀ~AÀ~AÀ~AÀ~AÀ~AÀ~AÀ~AÀ~A, ATAPI TAPE drive hdd: attached ide-tape driver. ide-tape: ht0: I/O error, pc = 12, key = 0, asc = c0, ascq = 81 ide-tape: ht0: can't get INQUIRY results ide-tape: ht0: I/O error, pc = 1a, key = 0, asc = c0, ascq = 81 ide-tape: Can't get tape parameters - assuming some default values ide-tape: ht0: I/O error, pc = 1a, key = 0, asc = c0, ascq = 81 ide-tape: Can't get block descriptor ide-tape: hdd <-> ht0: 450KBps, 6*26kB buffer, 4394kB pipeline, 110ms tDSC
With no tape in the drive, the above doesn't happen - the drive is not detected as far as I can see. Subequent attempts to use the drive result in error messages like: Mar 2 15:07:38 server kernel: hdd: ATAPI reset complete Mar 2 15:07:38 server kernel: ide-tape: ht0: I/O error, pc = 1, key = 0, asc = c0, ascq = 81 Mar 2 15:09:38 server kernel: ide-tape: ht0: DSC timeout I was hoping that someone who knows the ide-tape stuff is around, and could help me with what those hex values and other errors mean, and even whether there is a chance that this drive is not supported. I'm going to upgrade to 2.6.3, but need to wait for an outage. Please CC me as I'm not subscribed. Antony -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
