Meaning? Sender: owner-freebsd-scsi@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I am getting the error below after/while(?) using tar on a SCSI tape with a BT (Buslogic) controller.

CDB: a 1 0 0 2 0 Aug 30 06:39:07 sanson /kernel: (sa0:bt0:0:3:0): ILLEGAL REQUEST asc:80,81 Aug 30 06:39:07 sanson /kernel: (sa0:bt0:0:3:0): Vendor Specific ASC What do those errors mean? The only thing I am doing that I can think of is: mt comp on #don't think this one is the error though mt blocksize 5120 And with tar I use -b 20 Previously there were errors saying the block size had to be a multiple of 5 bytes so I changed to 5120 and that error went away.
