Hi everyone,
Greetings from Adelaide, South Australia.
This is my first posting so if I've left out any valuable information,
firstly my apologies and secondly please let me know what else is required.
I recently cvsupped a server to 4.5 Stable, and up until that time the
unit was successfully running a Seagate STT8000A/5.51 ide tape backup unit.
Following the version upgrade the tape drive is no longer responsive and
any attempts to query the device result in the process hanging.
I have some output here from what I think to be relevant sections:
Output from atacontrol list:
su-2.05# atacontrol list
ATA channel 0:
Master: ad0 <QUANTUM FIREBALL SE6.4A/API.0C00> ATA/ATAPI rev 3
Slave: ast0 <Seagate STT8000A/5.51> ATA/ATAPI rev 0
ATA channel 1:
Master: ad2 <IBM-DTLA-305020/TW2OA60A> ATA/ATAPI rev 5
Slave: no device present
Relevent lines from most recent kernel rebuild (20020417):
ast0: TAPE <Seagate STT8000A> at ata0-slave PIO4
ast0: failure to execute ATAPI packet command
If I run the following command the process hangs in the kernel and
cannot be released or stopped, only a reboot will clear the process:
mt -f /dev/ast0 status
This is the relevant line from ps -ax, resulting from running the above
command:
253 p0- DE 0:00.01 mt -f /dev/ast0 status
Thanks for taking the time to read this, I hope someone can assist me.
Best regards,
Bronte Averay
