I had a problem like this. The logfile gave me a clue: (sa0:dpt0:0:0:0): unable to backspace over one of double filemarks at end of tape (sa0:dpt0:0:0:0): it is possible that this device needs a SA_QUIRK_1FM quirk set for it (sa0:dpt0:0:0:0): tape is now frozen- use an OFFLINE, REWIND or MTEOM command to clear this state. (sa0:dpt0:0:0:0): unable to rewind after test read Looking through LINT, there is no mention of SA_QUIRK_1FM but it does have a SA_1FM_AT_EOD option which I compiled into my kernel. It works now :-) I have a: dpt0: at 0x2c00-0x2cff, irq 15 (level) dpt0: on eisa0 slot 2 dpt0: DPT PM2022A/9X FW Rev. 05B0, 1 channel, 64 CCBs controlling a: sa0 at dpt0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 sa0: Removable Sequential Access SCSI-CCS device Good luck... -- :{ andyf@speednet.com.au Andy Farkas System Administrator Speednet Communications http://www.speednet.com.au/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
