My unit's firmware: library 05.03, tape d22h, shows the device as set to random mode. But mtx -f /dev/st0 status gives an error that google says the device is in sequential mode. dmesg|grep -i hp does reflect CentOS thinks the device is a sequential unit.First I would try the simplest test and swap the drives to eliminate the scsi card if it isn't too difficult. I seem to remember some other problems with that particular adaptec card, or its driver, but can't quite remember the issue.I've tried this with Fedora 8, too, and both show the same, so it is either an issue with CentOS/Fedora RPMs, or the version of MTX?I'm going to try a simple install of Ubuntu next and see if there is any difference.Is this a bug with the firmware, or with my setup? I have rebooted the tape drive and machine several times. I have the drive connected to an Adaptec 29160.I have another identical drive on another system, with a library firmware of d21h, tape firmware 04.04, and that works perfectly with mtx, though it is connected to a different SCSI card.Thanks for any help/insights. Scott
