Hi Sun-Managers,
My previous question was:

I edit the /sys/scsi/targets/st_conf.c to add an entry:
/* QUALSTAR 1/2" reel */
{
"Qualstar 1/2\" Reel", 4, "QUALSTAR", ST_TYPE_KENNEDY, 10240,
(ST_REEL | ST_VARIABLE | ST_BSF | ST_BSR),
400, 400,
{ 0x01, 0x02, 0x03, 0x03 },
{ 0, 0, 0, 0 }
},
This entry I copied from Kenedy entry and make some modification.
When the system is booting watch the message
st0 at esp0 target 4 lun 0
st0: <Qualstar 1/2" Reel>
that mean the aditional entry is correct.
I only tried writing on /dev/rst0 (800 bpi) and always give error writing....
Until at last I tried reading/writing on /dev/rst8 (1600 bpi) and
/dev/rst16, it work fine.
According to Kevin W. Thomas that have the manual for this QUALSTAR drive:
>>The Qualstar drives can *not* write 800 bpi tapes. The drive can *read*
>>800 bpi tapes. Actually, some of the drives can read/write at 3200 bpi, but
>>not on a UNIX workstation. I've never heard of 3200.
So its clear now that I have not been able to "tar cvf /dev/rst0 . " not
wrong in the st_conf.c or in the Qualstar setup.
