Turn on SCSIDEBUG, and see which command is causing it. It might be a LOAD UNLOAD MEDIUM, or PREVENT ALLOW MEDIUM REMOVAL. > THe tape drive is an HP Colorado T4000 running off my ahc AHA-2740A. It wouldn't surprise me if the SCSI implementation of these drives weren't the brightest. We've recently seen similar (worse, i think) examples for a cheap Conner tape. The behaviour of this drive made me shout that it's apparently a drive that has a 50-pin connector looking like SCSI, but it isn't really SCSI. (It violated the specs all over the place, they didn't even bother to implement some mandatory commands.) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
