Subject: Tape Drive Error messages using 'mt'

Hello,

I am using a Sony SDK-5200M drive on a FreeBSD 2.1.5 system with an
Adaptec 2940.  I am using DDS-1 90m tapes.

When I run 'mt erase' I get the following error message.

st0(ahc0:2:0): timed out in dataout phase, SCSISIGI == 0x0
st0(ahc0:2:0): BUS DEVICE RESET message queued.
Bus Device Reset Message Sent
st0(ahc0:2:0): Bus Device Reset delivered. 1 SCBs aborted

The tape drive appears to erase the tape.

Are these messages normal?  Does the first line mean that the drive is
hanging?


Thanks is advance.
