I did some research in the archives.. and the kernel source.. and didn't
find any good answers to this problem. When using amanda or mt(1)
command and file-skip-forward'ing (FSF), the tape drive timeouts
consistantly. this becomes a problem with large saves to the drive.
Has anyone solved this problem? I *need* to have the ability to to saves
and would hate to have to replace this box with linux just to use the
tapedrive.
ast0: TAPE <Seagate STT20000A> at ata1-slave using PIO4
here is an example of the error:
Feb 3 17:04:33 bigfoot /kernel: ast0: TEST_UNIT_READY command timeout -
resetting
Feb 3 17:04:33 bigfoot /kernel: ata1: resetting devices .. ata1-slave:
timeout waiting for command=ef s=11 e=04
root@bigfoot # uname -a

Any help would be appreciated.
