I've made some changes which cleared up problems with EOM handling and correctly doing things with QIC. I hope. I have done a lot of testing, but this is an area which, sad to say, can take a lot to get right and it's easy to miss things. I've done several passes of my tape pattern tester for: TANDBERG SLR5 4/8GB ARCHIVE Python 29279-XXX DEC TLZ09 EXABYTE 8500S EXABYTE 8505XL HP DDS3 4mm DEC DLT4000 QIC-150 and I did spanned tape backups and restores and compares for the TANDBERG and the ARCHIVE. I also did a couple of runs using an eot model of 1 even for variable drives like the DDS3 4mm. In the process of all this testing I killed my DLT4000, killed one Exabyte 8505 and had to buy on EBay a couple of more drives. I think at this point I'd like some of the actual users of tape stuff in FreeBSD to help out and see if things work for them or not. If you all would be so kind- could you fetch http://people.freebsd.org/~mjacob/scsi_sa.c and give it a shot? I'll be away until next wednesday (I have to go to Minneapolis on a business trip)- and can't easily check email while I'm away- but I really would like feedback- thanks! -matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
