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 ATA/ATAPI rev 3 Slave: ast0 ATA/ATAPI rev 0 ATA channel 1: Master: ad2 ATA/ATAPI rev 5 Slave: no device present Relevent lines from most recent kernel rebuild (20020417): ast0: TAPE 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.
