Bill Henderson stands accused of saying: > > Can anyone tell my why my scsi tape drive keeps hanging up int the middle of > backups? Maybe it doesn't want it's girlfriend hearing what you're telling it. Let me ask you a question in return : why is a rake? On the off chance that you're one of those poor souls without a sense of humour : WHERE ARE THE DETAILS? We're not psychic, and if you don't help, we can't do anything for you. And won't. So : - what sort of tape? - what sort of disk(s)? - what sort of SCSI controller? - is your SCSI bus installed and terminated correctly? ARE YOU VERY SURE? - which version of FreeBSD are you running? - how are you performing the backup? - what does "hanging up" mean? This is not a technical term. - What other symptoms do you see?
