Hi All, I was wondering if someone can shed some light on the following problem I'm having with my HP SCSI DAT 40x6e. The problem is this : Almost seemingly randomly I get the following error in /var/log/messages when writing to the tape device : Oct 25 16:28:26 hercules /kernel: (sa0:ahc2:0:5:0): camisr(sa0:ahc2:0:5:0): tape is now fr ozen- use an OFFLINE, REWIND or MTEOM command to clear this state. At the above point all writing stops. As a 'mt status' shows I'm not using compression and I've set the device to use variable block sizes. # mt status Mode Density Blocksize bpi Compression Current: 0x26:DDS-4 variable 97000 disabled ---------available modes--------- 0: 0x26:DDS-4 variable 97000 DCLZ 1: 0x26:DDS-4 variable 97000 DCLZ 2: 0x26:DDS-4 variable 97000 DCLZ 3: 0x26:DDS-4 variable 97000 DCLZ --------------------------------- Current Driver State: at rest. --------------------------------- File Number: 8 Record Number: 0 Residual Count -32768 There are also two SCSI controllers in the machine. One onboard the motherboard and a PCI controller. Both are Adaptecs. The external backup device is connected to the PCI controller and is the only device on it. Any ideas? This is driving me mad ...
