SCSI errors with Adaptec 2200S RAID

[Eric W. Bates]

I can't address the cause of the problem; but I have had good luck using

   camcontrol reset <all | bus[:target:lun]>

when my tape device wedges. This is less disruptive than a reboot. Use:

   camcontrol devlist -v

To get a list of your busses and such if you can't remember the ID of 
the drive in question (I'm too lazy to walk over to the rack...).
