From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.72 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.16-3 i686) The ECRIX tape changer takes about 70 secs to unload a tape, causing the /dev/sgN driver to time out (sg.h has #define SG_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT (60*HZ) /* HZ == 'jiffies in 1 second' */ ) The tape changer being a sensitive soul goes into severe sulks when the timeout causes a scsi abort, only cured by power cycling. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. attach ECRIX tape library 2. configure AMANDA to use chg-zd-mtx 3. try to label a series of tapes to get going ie amlabel <MYCONF> <MYLABEL>-1 slot 1 amlabel <MYCONF> <MYLABEL>-2 slot 2 Actual Results: Mar 17 18:00:48 awning kernel: scsi : aborting command due to timeout : pid 4155, scsi1, channel 0, id 5, lun 0 Move medium/play audio(12) 00 00 00 00 52 00 06 00 00 00 00 Mar 17 18:00:48 awning kernel: sym53c8xx_abort: pid=4155 serial_number=4186 serial_number_at_timeout=4186 Expected Results: command completion problem cured by setting #define SG_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT (120*HZ) in scsi/sg.h and compiling new kernel Problem is independent of SCSI card, reproduced on both Adaptec aha7xxx and sym53c8xx
That would be a problem and decision for the kernel group - reassigning.
