  First the problem:  Starting on 4/3, my amanda backups have started  
failing.  At the point of failure the following appears on the console:

(sa0:ahc0:0:5:0): SCB 0x4 - timed out while idle, LASTPHASE == 0x1, SEQADDR == 0x9
(sa0:ahc0:0:5:0): Queuing a BDR SCB
(sa0:ahc0:0:5:0): Bus Device Reset Message Sent
(sa0:ahc0:0:5:0): no longer in timeout, status = 34b
ahc0: Bus Device Reset on A:5. 1 SCBs aborted
Unexpected busfree.  LASTPHASE == 0x0
SEQADDR == 0x5d

My system consists of an Asus P2B-DS motherboard:

I am using all 3 SCSI connectors on the motherboard.  The 50 pin connector  
connects only the CDROM, which is properly terminated.  The 68pin Ultra  
connector goes to the back of the machine where the DLT connects to it via a  
cable.  It also, is properly terminated.  The 2 disk drives are internal and  
are connected to the Ultra2 connector with the Adaptec Ultra2 cable (with  
terminator on the end).  I've upgraded the firmware in the DLT to the latest  
available on the Quantum ftp site.

  Amanda backs up the remote machine and all partitions other than da1s1e to  
/d1/dumps and then dumps that to tape.  This part of the backup works fine.   
The problem occurs when amanda is backing up da1s1e directly to tape,  
sometime during the dump it fails.  I've seen anywhere from 3 to 7 GB dumped  
sucessfully before the failure.  This same setup had been running without  
problems for months.  Any ideas as to what is happening?  I am running 3.1  
Stable cvsupped on 4/17.

Thanks,

barry
