I have been trying to get -current (~2/15/95) to not hang my Wangtek 5525ES
SCSI tape drive and then crash (no panic msg, just reboots) the system
(following the 10 minute timeout) when I attempt to forward space a file on
it (using the st command from 1.1.5.1). It seems if I turn on debugging
(levels 1, 2 or 4; 8 doesn't help) for the device (using the scsi command
from 1.1.5.1) the forward space file works. Has anyone else with one of
these drives seen this? The debug behavior has got me perplexed. I suspect
there is a timing problem somewhere but it eludes me.
Note that it fails exactly the same on two different systems both running
-current and that the Exabyte EXB-8200 tape drives I have on these two systems
seem to do just fine.
