>Organization:
Four Guys' Plumbing, south Chandler.
>Environment:
TapeStor 8000 with 4.11 firmware sitting on 7890 Adaptec controller. Running
3.3-STABLE. Problem existed in 3.2-STABLE as well (and -current I assume too).
>Description:
Running 3.3-STABLE. Had problems getting new TapeStor 8000 from Seagate to
work properly. People on -scsi said to try "seteotmodel" to change the EOT
characteristics from 2 to 1. This worked. I then modified scsi_sa.c to add a
quirk entry that works to put this particular tape into '1-mode' automatically
without having to remember to use the mt command.
>How-To-Repeat:
Using a TapeStor 8000 drive, try doing successive dump(8)'s to the tape using
the non-rewinding device /dev/nrsa0. The drive will simply "freak out" and a
hard reboot will be in order.
Using this quirk entry or "mt seteotmodel 1" fixes the problem and allows
multiple files to be placed onto the tape.
>Fix:
The following patch to src/sys/cam/scsi/scsi_sa.c was posted to -scsi over a
week ago but has not been committed as of yet. I would appreciate it very much
if someone would. Thank you!
