I and a colleague tried for years to get one of these to work automatically and never got it working. Years earlier I had a Quantum Loader that never skipped a beat. We wound up using the web interface. Best of luck with your project.

I have Centos 5.2 and am trying to set up my first tape loader, a Quantum SuperLoader 3. My "cat /proc/scsi/scsi" outputs the following: Attached devices: Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: transtec Model: PV610F16R1C Rev: 373I Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 05 Host: scsi1 Channel: 00 Id: 01 Lun: 00 Vendor: HP Model: Ultrium 3-SCSI Rev: D22D Type: Sequential-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 03 Host: scsi1 Channel: 00 Id: 05 Lun: 00 Vendor: HP Model: Ultrium 4-SCSI Rev: B54Z Type: Sequential-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 05 It is my understanding that there should be TWO devices for the loader, one for the tape drive and one for itself. From reading around, it seems that it's lacking Multiple LUM support. My question is, are more recent versions of CentOS enabling that by default? Either compiling kernel modules or doing a full upgrade of the system are "big" jobs in my case, but I'd prefer the upgrade if 5.5 works out of the box. Or do I really need to recompile kernel, enable max_lums in modprobe.conf, etc?
Hum... Last time I used an autoloader, around 1999, it was working out of the box... I see 3 devices: the loader, and 2 drives... Do you mean there is really only 1 drive?
