stinit is the program for doing just that!

/etc/stinit.def

ok...so I have 'man stinit'..and I've even googled someone elses
stinit.def file, but how/where do I find the parameters that *I* need to
put in MY stinit.def file.  Is this something that the tape drive
manufacturer should be providing?  Am still lost but at least I'm going in
SOME direction.

(oh..and it's a 3WARE controller...NOT a 4WARE controller as originally
posted in that 'other' thread. :) I can't seem to touch type numbers.  oh
well.)
