I have:
ast0: TAPE <Seagate STT20000A> at ata1-slave using PIO4
on a 4.5-RELEASE box. I am using amanda to back-up my data..
sucessfully.. but I have a problem.
One of my 'files' on the tapedrive is long. So long in fact.. that
when amanda says 'seek to the next file' past this file.... and the
kernel waits around for the seek to complete, the kernel timesout in
the middle of the seek. SO I have good data.. just no good way to get
to it.
I have researched the mailing lists.. and there was a bug report
round about FreeBSD-4.0 on this .. but it was closed and sent to sos.
Never saw where it was solved. The problem apparently still exists.
Anyone have any suggestions for solving this? .. I need to restore ;-)
