Greetings,
I have been poking around in the manpages for mt(1) and st(4), and linux/drivers/scsi/README.st, and I don't see any ioctl for switching tapes in an autoloader. I recently purchased a Seagate 4586NP SCSI-2 DAT autoloader recognized as:
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: ARCHIVE Model: Python 28849-XXX Rev: 5.AC Type: Sequential-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
The documentation for this device claims that the magazine can be manipulated by either manual controls or SCSI bus commands. Is there any current support for such control, and if not, what would be involved in adding it? I'm willing to read the SCSI HOWTO's and take a stab at adding functionality, if necessary.
thanks for any advice, -bp -- B. James Phillippe Seattle Software Labs, Inc Network Administrator Phone: (206) 521-8346 NIC Handle: BJP4 Fax: (206) 521-8340 http://w3.terran.org/~bryan http://www.sealabs.com
