I did a clean install of 4.3 and upgraded it to stable today. Most things seem fine, but I cannot get the EIDE tape drive to work. The device appears as follows at boot time: ast0: TAPE <Seagate STT20000A> at ata0-slave using PIO4 mt status seems okay: # mt -f /dev/nrast0 status Mode Density Blocksize bpi Compression Current: 0x01:X3.22-1983 512 bytes 800 none ---------available modes--------- 0: default variable 0 none 1: default variable 0 none 2: default variable 0 none 3: default variable 0 none --------------------------------- File Number: 0 Record Number: 0 Residual Count 0 However, if I try any operation to write to the tape (dd, tar, whatever) it fails with an I/O error and the following is sent to syslog: ast0: WRITE - ILLEGAL REQUEST asc=30 ascq=00 error=00 In some cases I also see this: ast0: READ - BLANK CHECK asc=00 ascq=05 error=00 In no case am I able to write labels or other data to tapes. Am I missing something obvious, is this a known issue in stable, or should I submit a bug?
