Actually, I just realized this: Device (0:0:5:0) is my tape drive (HP Surestore Dat8i): root@palanthas:[/proc/scsi]# cat scsi Attached devices: Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 05 Lun: 00 Vendor: HP Model: C1533A Rev: A612 Type: Sequential-Access [snip] I wonder why this is happening, under 2.0.35 with Adaptec AIC7xxx driver version: 5.1.0pre10/3.2.4, operation of all my devices is fine and I just performed a 8GB backup... I'll try 2.0.35+5.1.2 and see what happens (to debug the problem further). ,-*~'`^`'~*-,._.,-*~'`^`'~*-,._.,-*~'`^`'~*-,._.,-*~'`^`'~*-,._.,-*~'`^`'~*-, Vincent S. Cojot, Computer Engineering.
