I have recently set up a SCSI DLT tape unit on our FreeBSD file server to
take care of backups but I can not get it to work.

I can get the status of the device (mt -f /dev/rsa0 status) and it looks
fine. Also, a few other commands work like errstat, rdhpos, rdspos.

If I do a rewind (mt -f /dev/rsa0 rewind) I get the following error
messages:
(sa0:ahc0:0:5:0): Unexpected busfree in Message-in phase SEQADDR == 0x167

If I try to write to the device (dd of=/dev/nrsa0 bs=1024k) I get the
following error messages:
(sa0:ahc0:0:5:0): WRITE(06). CDB: a 0 0 40 0 0
(sa0:ahc0:0:5:0): MEDIUM ERROR info:3fdb csi:0,0,0,2 asc:81,0
(sa0:ahc0:0:5:0): Vendor Specific ASC
dd: /dev/nrsa0: Input/output error
(sa0:ahc0:0:5:0): tape is now frozen- use and OFFLINE, REWIND or MTEOM
command to clear this state

I have tried it with several different tapes - that is not the problem.

The SCSI card we are using is an Adaptec 2940U2W.

If anyone has any ideas please let me know.
