I'm running 4.0-200000208-CURRENT. I get the following dmesg on startup. ast0: TAPE at ata1-slave using PIO4 when I run something like "tar -cf /dev/rast0 file" the tape drive light will come on and the drive will access the tape. After about two seconds all activity will stop and the command will lock. I've tried killing the process, but ultimatly have to reboot the machine. Has anyone run into this problem? This is my first time trying an IDE tape. I haven't had any trouble with SCSI. -- Bradley Benson Information Systems Manager Central Montgomery MH/MR Center To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
