Hi: I was unable to get an answer from the redhat.list so I'm asking here. I'm getting a timeout on the adaptec 2842vlb went doing a backup to ftape (colorado jumbo 250). This happens went using tar to backup a IBM SCSI 2.1GB (MODEL DORS-32160). The partition is approximately 440 megs in size. The kernel that I am using is 2.0.32. However, I noticed someone else in newsgroup comp.periphs.scsi has had a timeout related to ftape on a different version of the kernel. IS THERE A FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM OR WILL THERE BE ONE? thanks! regard, Bob Wheater -------- excerpt from /var/log/messages ---------------- Jul 18 17:58:58 localhost kernel: ftape-2.08 960314 Jul 18 17:58:58 localhost kernel: (c) 1993-1995 Bas Laarhoven (bas@vimec.nl) Jul 18 17:58:58 localhost kernel: (c) 1995-1996 Kai Harrekilde-Petersen (khp@dolphinics.no) Jul 18 17:58:58 localhost kernel: QIC-117 driver for QIC-40/80/3010/3020 tape drives Jul 18 17:58:58 localhost kernel: Compiled for kernel version 2.0.32 with versioned symbols Jul 18 17:58:58 localhost kernel: [000] fdc-io.c (fdc_config) - Using the standard fdc controller.

From: phi@bh.marintek.sintef.no (Per Henning Isaksen) Date: 1998/07/27 Message-ID: <901547611.900883@halvan.trd.sintef.no> Newsgroups: comp.periphs.scsi [More Headers] [Subscribe to comp.periphs.scsi] I have problems with timeout (sometimes!), problem may block access to partition completely. System is Adaptec2940UW, Quantum Fireball 3.2GB Ultra SCSI-2, Tyan Tomcat MB and Linux 2.0.34. First impression is that it is a thermal problem, i.e. it disappears after the PC has been off for some time, cold boot is not sufficient. However, heating disk/controller reasonably (?) does not provoke any error. Second impression is that it only appears when running backup (ftape floppy driver). Coincidence ?? Is there any software available that could be used to test MB/controller/disk when the problem decides to show up?
