From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.77 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.2-2 i686) Description of problem: on booting 'linux rescue' to do a full system restore, my DLT was not accessable via /dev/st0 (nst0) there was no tape device. A full restore had to be done by first completing a minimal RH install for the tape drive. More flexibility requried in rescue mode. A Side note of this, lack of MAKEDEV in /dev, and lack of dump/restore. Should add everything required to do restore from new HDD. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot- linux rescure from CD 2. answer all question to get to prompt. 3. mt stat (or ls /dev/st*) 4. note lack of tape dev. Actual Results: noticed lack of tape device. Expected Results: a full restore from tape. Additional info:
We've added the st module to the second stage moduleball in CVS
