I recently purchased a SDT-5000 and attempted to use it with FreeBSD 3.4. For some reason or another, when using flexbackup, the SCSI tape driver appears to lose its concept of sesssion, and the messages about the tape being frozen appear. What would be useful information to help diagnose this problem, in addition to my kernel config, the output from 'boot -v' when using the tape? How should I go about diagnosing the problem, given I'm not a SCSI guru? Suggestions gratefully accepted, even if they include "Go jump off a tall building." -scooter To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
