Actually, I just realized this:
Device (0:0:5:0) is my tape drive (HP Surestore Dat8i):

root at palanthas:[/proc/scsi]# cat scsi 
Attached devices: 
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 05 Lun: 00
  Vendor: HP       Model: C1533A           Rev: A612
  Type:   Sequential-Access

I wonder why this is happening, under 2.0.35 with Adaptec AIC7xxx driver
version: 5.1.0pre10/3.2.4, operation of all my devices is fine and I just
performed a 8GB backup...

I'll try 2.0.35+5.1.2 and see what happens (to debug the problem further).

They cannot scare me with their empty spaces
Between stars - on stars where no human race is
I have it in me so much nearer home
To scare myself with my own desert places.       - Robert Frost
