Sender: owner-current@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk About a month ago, I upgraded my system to -current so I could do some work on ccd. The new kernel had some trouble with hanging on the probe of my SCSI tape drive (Exabyte 8200). I recently rebuilt the kernel with a June 6th sup of the CVS tree and this probe seems to have completely broken. I'm currently rebuilding my kernel with FAILSAFE defined, I'll let anyone interested know how that works out (email me). I guess I should note that this tape drive works perfectly under all my 2.1 kernels. In the old -current kernel, once I get past the probe the tape drive functions as expected (I've done gigabyte+ dump/restores with no problems). -Matt
