Hi,

Would anyone object if I commit a change that basically doubles the
timeout value used when writing filemarks?

Perhaps we should make this a sysctl variable?

Currently scsi_write_filemarks() is called from sawritefilemarks() with
a timeout of 60 seconds. For some older tape drives this is not enough.
I have been testing my Exabyte 8500 with this fix, and it now reliably
is able to write the filemark without timing out.


Comments?

Thanks,

Lars
