Subject:   IDE ATA ATAPI tape drive (AST0) causes system to stop responding.
Message-ID:  <3F953497.3060602@jak.nl>

Hello,

Recently I installed a Dell PowerEdge 600 SC with FreeBSD 
4.8-RELEASE-p13 for a client. This system has a Seagate STT20000A IDE 
tape drive which causes the system to stop responding when using the 
tape drive for backups. A hard powercycle is needed to get the system 
running  again.

Today the last command issued is:
  mt fsf 1

The last two lines on the console are:

 AST0: rezero command timeout resetting
 ATA2: resetting devices ..

But it also happend while writing or reading to or from the backup tape

I have googled around and tried various suggestions but with no succes.

I also tried FreeBSD-STABLE but problem persists.

Does anyone have a clue what might be wrong?

Thanks
Arjan
