I know it's been a while and I bet you weren't
expecting to hear back from me yet. Unfortunately I
had to put my time elsewhere - but I've been keeping
up with the group and suggestions to my problem.
>From what I can tell of my /var/log/dmesg file my
autoloader is on /dev/st0 - which is odd because mtx
doesn't seem to agree.
when I run:
mtx -f /dev/st0 inquiry
I get:
failed to set sg timeout - Invalid argument
when I do the same with sg0: (mtx -f /dev/sg0 inquiry)
I get:
Product Type: Tape Drive

Product ID: 'DAT 06241-XXX'

Attached Changer: No
that's the only command that comes back with anything
sensible - everything else is errors
Here's the SCSI section from /var/log/dmesg:

Once a tape is manually loaded, I can write to it
(this is how I've been backing up while too busy to
just fix it) but I can't get the autoloader part to do
anything.
any ideas?
I really appreciate the help on this - this is one of
the best groups I've dealt with and I apologize for my
ignorance. I'm reading up as fast as I can...
