I have a DELL PowerEdge 2300 system running Linux 2.0.36 kernel and aic7xxx 5.1.15. An internal tape drive connected to the narrow interface goes to "tilt mode" if the tape ends during a backup. Sometimes (rarely) the problem situation goes away if I unload the tape driver (st.o) and eject the tape manually. Most times, the tape drive remains inaccessible (every access except 'mt status' responding with an error) until a reboot. You can imagine that rebooting the system because of this is annoying. Is there a way I could cause a device or bus reset on the narrow bus (which has the tape drive and a CD-ROM) without upsetting the software-RAID array on the wide aic7890 bus? -- Osma Ahvenlampi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe aic7xxx" in the body of the message
