Hello.

I am having a strange issue with a HP Ultrium 3000 LTO drive connected to a LSI MegaRAID SAS 9280-24i4e
controller. It appears to write ok to tape, but on rewind it fails. If I eject the tape and reinsert it
reads ok. It appears that the rewind times out with the following kernel warnings

Eventually after a couple of minutes of the tape running back and forth I get an I/O error.

[root@aleph mnt]# mt -f /dev/nsa0 rewind
mt: /dev/nsa0: rewind: Input/output error

Any suggestions as to where to look would be most appreciated.
