Every time I use the chio command to control my tape library
(MediaLogic) I get a kernal message or the sort

Mar 22 12:29:42 r2s3 /kernel: (ch0:ahc0:0:5:0): warning, READ ELEMENT STATUS avail != count

I'm not exactly sure what's causing this and was hoping someone here
more familiar with the ch(4) code could comment.  ch(4) and chio(1) seem
to work find except for filling my logs with this error message.

Is this likely to be a bug in ch(4) or a deficiency in the way my tape
changer implements support for the associated SCSI commands?  If the
latter, what's the best way to quiet these error messages (assuming I
can't get the company to fix it).

This isn't the end of the world... just annoying...

Here's the output of  chio status
