I've installed FreeBSD 4.9-RELEASE on a Dell 400SC with an ATA Travan
tape drive, accessing it through /dev/ast0. On linear writing
operations, it works great... but there appears to be some kind of
timeout problem on rewind:
# mt -f /dev/nast0 rewind
mt: /dev/nast0: rewind: Input/output error
From console:
Nov 12 11:28:02 bs4 /kernel: ast0: REZERO command timeout - resetting
Nov 12 11:28:02 bs4 /kernel: ata1: resetting devices .. done
This error does not appear if the tape is already rewound. Any thoughts?
