You could get lucky and find an adapter that allows > disabling bus resets. I've always wondered if this is something the tape driver could recover from. I guess if the tape driver is recording partion, FM, and block count as it writes and the target drive allows block level repositioning that it could recover. Do all tape drives lose their position on a reset? How many support the soft reset alternative? I guess it's time to do some experimentation. -- Justin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
