This morning, I was running 'amcheck' on it, and it generated the following error(s): Oct 28 13:10:16 thelab /boot/kernel/kernel: (sa0:ahc0:0:4:0): tape is now frozen- use an OFFLINE, REWIND or MTEOM command to clear this state.

I missed the 'use an OFFLINE ...' message the first time through, so am going to reboot to see if I can re-create the error(s), but am wondering whether or not this is maybe something that ppl have experienced with either the controller/tape or changer, and is something I should be expecting ...
