Hi all, I finally installed an (internal) IDE HP Colorado 5 GB tape drive on my FreeBSD 3.1 (device wst0). It worked fine since december (I use it with tar). But, since a few days, it stops working in the middle of a tar. If I try to access to the tape again (with tar or mt -f /dev/rwst0 rewind or anything else), it *freezes* my system (at least, XFree86 but the system answers to a ping). After a while (certainly a timeout), these messages appear on the console : atapi1.1: controller not ready for cmd wst0: Sense media type failed And then FreeBSD (but not the tape of course) works well again. Since I've got a CDROM drive on controller 1, after the HP Colorado fails, the CDROM drive is also out of reach (mount /cdrom even gives a freeze) : atapi1.0: invalid command phase, ireason=0x0, status=40<ready>, error=0 atapi1.1: controller not ready for cmd wst_done: wst0: ERROR code=2, status=0, error=0 atapi1.1: controller not ready for cmd The only way to use my CDROM again is to reboot. The tape driver is well detected at boot time : wdc1: unit 1 (atapi): <HP COLORADO 5GB/2.060002>, removable, intr, dma, iordis wst0: Drive empty, reverse, eformat, qfa, ecc, 512b wst0: Max speed=0Kb/s, Transfer limit=64 blocks, Buffer size=1024 blocks So, I looked at the archive of freebsd-questions and freebsd-hardware, but found nothing about that problem. I didn't try the tape under Windows (no time to stop that critical machine), so I can't say if the problem comes from the tape or the wst0 device driver (or even the wdc driver ???). Any help would be appreciated (reply by mail if possible). Thanks.
