Operating Systems SCO Tape Drive (/dev/rct0) donot work sometimes Post 302603455 by hicksd8 on Thursday 1st of March 2012 04:33:21 AM

Yes, I agree but, adding to my previous post, the reboot gets the SCSI adapter to issue a SCSI reset to the tape drive and it appears that this is enough to make it work. Therefore, SCSI communication is most likely the issue hence my comment about re-seating the cables, etc.

UK(4)							   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						     UK(4)

NAME
uk -- SCSI user-level driver SYNOPSIS
uk* at scsibus? target ? lun ? DESCRIPTION
The uk driver provides support for a process to address devices on the SCSI bus for which there is no configured driver. A SCSI adapter must also be separately configured into the system before this driver makes sense. KERNEL CONFIGURATION
If a count is given, that number of uk devices will be configured into the NetBSD kernel. IOCTLS
The uk driver has no ioctls of its own but rather acts as a medium for the generic scsi(4) ioctls. These are described in <sys/scsiio.h>. FILES
/dev/uk[0-255] unknown SCSI devices. DIAGNOSTICS
All scsi(4) debug ioctls work on uk devices. SEE ALSO
ioctl(2), cd(4), ch(4), scsi(4), sd(4), ss(4), st(4) HISTORY
The uk driver appeared in 386BSD 0.1. BSD
October 11, 1993 BSD
