I've got some questions about using a scsi tape drive on Freebsd. This is
on version 1.1.5.1, using an Adaptec 1542B controller.
At boot time, the drive is seen as:
aha0 waiting for scsi devices to settle
aha0 targ 5 lun 0: type 1(sequential) removable SCSI2
aha0 targ 5 lun 0: <HP HP35480A 1009>
st0: density code 0x13, drive empty
So far, so good. Then I log on and try to tar a directory to it:
# tar -cv /etc
It spits out a list of the files it is working on, and then, after chewing
for about five minutes, I get:
st0(aha0:5:0): timed out
The drive continues to blink and click for about five more minutes, and
then I get:
st0(aha0:5:0): DELAYED ERROR, key = 0x4
At this point, I get my prompt back.
Does anyone know what causes this?
Alternatively, does anyone know if I will still have this problem if I go
to 2.0.5 or 2.1?
Thanks.
