When you say "it appears that the transfer has completed", do you mean the block has been written or that the transfer was completed? if the latter I have found that it seems to write the first 20 blocks of any transfer (that is I can read these off the tape later) but after that just stops. Is there anything else I can try? cheers Henry On Thu, 20 Dec 2001, Justin T.

Have you tried a different tape? From the dump, it appears that the transfer has completed, but that the tape drive has not changed phase to complete the command. If there is a media error and our timeout is set shorter than the retry timeout on the drive, you'll get these kinds of errors. -- Justin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
