FreeBSD doesn't like Exabyte 8200s at all. I've tried with a 1540B, a 1742, and a 2940. And no matter what controller I use it's really flakey and unreliable. I've tried two different 8200s that I have lying around (mostly because nothing else really likes them either), and I sorts get OK results with tar -b 32 (16k blocks)... but any other block size and it barfs. Is this a known problem? Is there anything I can do to force it to write 16k blocks regardless of the write size?
