Has anyone else seen this problem.  Whenever I try to access the tape drive
I get the following message.

   Aug 18 23:37:25 Fridmani /kernel: st0(uha0:6:0): ILLEGAL REQUEST csi:10,8,0,0
     asc:24,0 Invalid field in CDB field replaceable unit: 2
   Aug 18 23:37:25 Fridmani /kernel: st0: Cannot set selected mode

I have been able to reproduce the error on a different machine with a
different controller.  Is this a problem in the SCSI tape driver or a
hardware problem.  I don't have access to another drive, so I can't say for
sure whether it is repeatable in that respect.  I can't remember when the
drive started giving these errors, but if I go back to the Feb 2 snapshot
the drive works fine.

I have done some debugging, and have pinpointed it to the Mode Select
command.  If necessary I can include a copy of the debug traces.
