Two questions.
1) I recently had a old hard drive fail (a slave on the secondary ide
channel) that I was only using to learn how to add a w95-fat32 disk, give it
a mount point and share it via samba. No problem there. However, the drive
failed. When I removed it. My Linux box would not boot normally, but
rather to a repair mode. I had to dig out of box a another old disk,
configure and format a partition. I was unable to configure linux properly
after the removal of the hard drive. How does one configure linux to remove
a drive.
/dev/hda - HD, Master on primary channel
/dev/hdb - CD, slave on primary channel
/dev/hdc - Tape, Master on secondary channel
/dev/hdd - HD, slave on secondary channel
2) I can't seem to utilize this IDE tape drive. What's the process for
mounting and writing to an IDE tape.
