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.
