Trouble with ide tape drive
|
|
| Mark C 2006-09-26, 7:14 pm |
| I have 2 IDE hard drives (both masters - primary and secondary controllers-
in a RAID 1 array) and a IDE tape drive as a slave on the secondary
controller. I'm running Debian kernel Linux version 2.6.8-2-686. kern.log
shows:
Sep 26 15:38:56 fs kernel: ide-tape: hdd <-> ht0: CONNER CTT8000-A rev 2.08
Sep 26 15:38:56 fs kernel: ide-tape: hdd <-> ht0: 600KBps, 14*26kB buffer,
5850kB pipeline, 88ms tDSC
Yet no devices exist (ht0, st0, hdd, etc.)
There was a CD drive in this location (secondary slave) when the system was
built. Could this be "stuck" somehow and preventing the device from being
created?
TIA

My /dev contains a MAKEDEV script. This should do the trick.

Perhaps you need to tell udev how to create the virtual device nodes for
your tape drives. Don't ask me how to do this; I don't use udev.
Read "man udev"
