I picked up a Dell PowerVault 122T (VS80) DLT tape drive (aka Benchmark VS640 changer) over the weekend for $60.. Works fine if you mount tapes your self.. However, this unit is an autochanger but FreeBSD does not see the 2nd LUN on the SCSI bus -- which I gather is somewhat common. In researching this, I found the references to the Quirks that are occasionally needed. See herefor some background and testing info. I put a quirk in place in this file similar to that shown below :
Unfortunately it was not recognized upon the next reboot.. Has anyone done one of these before and can point me in the right direction to diagnosing how to get it working? I enabled some CAM related debug flags and after installing that kernel, I get TONS of debug output to the point where it seemed like I was not going to have a usable kernel.. Ugg!!
Code:
{
T_SEQUENTIAL, SIP_MEDIA_REMOVABLE, "BNCHMARK",
"VS640*", "*"
},
CAM_QUIRK_HILUNS, /*mintags*/0, /*maxtags*/0
