[sclug] Debian and Tape Drives

[Scott Rixon]

Hi all...

I am at the very limit of my knowledge here!!

I have got my hands on an HP Ultrium 215 Drive (LTO1). It's connected. 
The SCSI card is being detected on boot and Debain is loading a module 
for it.

But I have no idea what to do about the tape drive! I assume I need to 
load/compile a module for it?!? I am using Amanda for my backup and it 
is set to /dev/nst0.

scsi0 : Adaptec AIC7XXX EISA/VLB/PCI SCSI HBA DRIVER, Rev 6.2.36
        <Adaptec 2940 Ultra SCSI adapter>
        aic7880: Ultra Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 16/253 SCBs

blk: queue c13f7c74, I/O limit 4095Mb (mask 0xffffffff)
(scsi0:A:3): 20.000MB/s transfers (10.000MHz, offset 8, 16bit)
  Vendor: HP        Model: Ultrium 1-SCSI    Rev: N26D
  Type:   Sequential-Access                  ANSI SCSI revision: 03

There she is on boot!

Any help would be massively appreciated!

Thanks,

Scott
