Every once in a while (about once a week usually), my nightly backup fails
in the middle with the following errors:

st0(ahc0:6:0): Target Busy
st0(ahc0:6:0): Target Busy
st0(ahc0:6:0): Target Busy
st0(ahc0:6:0): Target Busy
st0(ahc0:6:0): Target Busy
st0(ahc0:6:0): Target Busy

In the dmesg output (I noticed this this time, but I don't know if this
happened in the past as well) are a bunch of:

file: table is full

right before the Target Busy errors.


This is a Conner CTD8000 (OEM name) or CP4326NP (retail name).  It is a 
DDS-2 capable drive, and identifies itself as:

"ARCHIVE Python 28388-XXX 5.28"

I can't link this to any particular time frame or a particular set of tapes.

I am running Current from March 30, and am using amanda to perform the
backups.

Any Ideas?
