CONFIG_CHR_DEV_OSST: SCSI OnStream SC-x0 tape support

General informations

The Linux kernel configuration item CONFIG_CHR_DEV_OSST has multiple definitions:

SCSI OnStream SC-x0 tape support found in drivers/scsi/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_CHR_DEV_OSST:

Help text

The OnStream SC-x0 SCSI tape drives cannot be driven by the standard st driver, but instead need this special osst driver and use the /dev/osstX char device nodes (major 206). Via usb-storage, you may be able to drive the USB-x0 and DI-x0 drives as well. Note that there is also a second generation of OnStream tape drives (ADR-x0) that supports the standard SCSI-2 commands for tapes (QIC-157) and can be driven by the standard driver st. For more information, you may have a look at the SCSI-HOWTO http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto and Documentation/scsi/osst.txt in the kernel source. More info on the OnStream driver may be found on http://sourceforge.net/projects/osst/ Please also have a look at the standard st docu, as most of it applies to osst as well.

To compile this driver as a module, choose M here and read Documentation/scsi/scsi.txt. The module will be called osst.

The OnStream SC-x0 SCSI tape drives can not be driven by the standard st driver, but instead need this special osst driver and use the /dev/osstX char device nodes (major 206). Via usb-storage and ide-scsi, you may be able to drive the USB-x0 and DI-x0 drives as well. Note that there is also a second generation of OnStream tape drives (ADR-x0) that supports the standard SCSI-2 commands for tapes (QIC-157) and can be driven by the standard driver st. For more information, you may have a look at the SCSI-HOWTO http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto and Documentation/scsi/osst.txt in the kernel source. More info on the OnStream driver may be found on http://linux1.onstream.nl/test/ Please also have a look at the standard st docu, as most of it applies to osst as well.

This driver is also available as a module ( = code which can be inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want). The module will be called osst. If you want to compile it as a module, say M here and read Documentation/modules.txt and Documentation/scsi/scsi.txt.
