Hmmm... never seen this one before.

I have two identical Dell PowerEdge 1300 servers.  One backs up fine.
The other doesn't.

The failing system finds the tape just fine:

sa0 at ahc0 bus 0 target 6 lun 0
sa0: <ARCHIVE Python 04106-XXX 7350> Removable Sequential Access SCSI-2 device

This is a basic DDS3 tape drive.

When I do a "mt status", I get:

mt: /dev/nsa0: Input/output error

Additionally, the "drive" activity light starts blinking when I do
this.

Any thoughts?  Been through the archives, everything seems fine.  :(
