Lines: 29 Message-ID: <4i1vl7$rrk@nike.volvo.se> NNTP-Posting-Host: cyklop.volvo.se Hello netters, we have aa problem with EXABYTE EXB-4200c rev 217 running from bsd/os 2.0.1. As controller we have a mix ofg adaptec 1542-C and CF. On some systems we also have scsi disks (HP and seagate), andd sony CD-om. What happens is that sometimes the exabyte stops working, the log shows : Feb 23 22:01:13 cyklop kernel: aha0: operation time exceeds 60 seconds Feb 23 22:01:43 cyklop kernel: aha0: operation time exceeds 90 seconds Feb 23 22:02:13 cyklop kernel: aha0: operation time exceeds 120 seconds Feb 23 22:02:43 cyklop kernel: aha0: operation time exceeds 150 seconds and from here on is reboot the only fix. We have used 8mm exabyte with great pleasure, but they are hard to fit in ordinary pc-chassies :-) All other equipment seems to work flawlessly, and we have (to the best of my knowledge) applied all terminators etc. Any other running exabyte DAT that can share some experience ? (scsi settings , etc) Thanks in advance, and, Drive Carefully! -- Peter Hakanson VolvoData Dep 2580 phone +46 31 66 74 27
