Unable to mount/find new drives
Hi, I work offshore and we have a system that records excessive amounts of data (Terabytes), therefore we changed the 16 x 400GB drives to 16 x 1TB drives. However, since doing this, upon bootup, the system does not recognize the new drives. These drives are external drives in a chassis which is connected to the computer via SCSI lead. See quote below email to IT assistant:

Quote:
Yesterday we switched the drive chassis off and changed the hard drives from 400 GB to 1 TB. We then switched the chassis back on and it initialized itself which took 6 hours. We did not switch off the computer at all.

We then tried to reboot the computer and the following message keeps coming up

Quote:
No such file or directory while trying to open / dev/vol1/raid1

/dev/vol1/raid1:

The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 file system. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2 file system (and not swop or ufs or something else), then the superblock is corrupt and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock

e2fsck -b 8193 <device> [ failed ]

it then come up with alt d for maintenance menu or enter to re-boot
Any help would be appreciated,
Kind regards
Russ

tapeinfo

TAPEINFO(1)						      General Commands Manual						       TAPEINFO(1)

NAME

       tapeinfo - report SCSI tape device info

SYNOPSIS

       tapeinfo -f <scsi-generic-device>

DESCRIPTION

       The  tapeinfo  command  reads  various information from SCSI tape drives that is not generally available via most vendors' tape drivers. It
       issues raw commands directly to the tape drive, using either the  operating  system's  SCSI  generic  device  (	e.g.  /dev/sg0	on  Linux,
       /dev/pass0 on FreeBSD) or the raw SCSI I/O ioctl on a tape device on some operating systems.

       One  good  time	to  use 'tapeinfo' is immediately after a tape i/o operation has failed. On tape drives that support HP's 'tapealert' API,
       'tapeinfo' will report a more exact description of what went wrong.

       Do be aware that 'tapeinfo' is not a substitute for your operating system's own 'mt' or similar tape driver control program. It is intended
       to supplement, not replace, programs like 'mt' that access your operating system's tape driver in order to report or set information.

OPTIONS

       The first argument, given following -f , is the SCSI generic device corresponding to your tape drive.  Consult your operating system's doc-
       umentation for more information (for example, under Linux these are generally start at /dev/sg0 under FreeBSD these start at /dev/pass0).

       Under FreeBSD, 'camcontrol devlist' will tell you what SCSI devices you have, along with which 'pass' device controls  them.  Under  Linux,
       "cat /proc/scsi/scsi" will tell you what SCSI devices you have.

BUGS AND LIMITATIONS

       This program has only been tested on Linux with a limited number of tape drives (HP DDS4, Seagate AIT).

AVAILABILITY

       tapeinfo  is  currently being maintained by Eric Lee Green <eric@badtux.org> formerly of Enhanced Software Technologies Inc. The 'mtx' home
       page is http://mtx.sourceforge.net and the actual code is currently available there and via CVS from http://sourceforge.net/projects/mtx/ .
