Last modified: 2012-06-20 11:58:03 EDT
Description of problem: Sometime in the last few releases /dev/st0l and /dev/nst0l stopped working. Probably /dev/st0[am] and /dev/nst[am] don't work anymore either. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.9-55.0.12.EL How reproducible: tar -f /dev/st0l Actual results: Variety of strange random messages in 'dmesg'. Changes ever time. Here's a good one: st0: Block limits 2 - 16777214 bytes. (scsi0:A:0:0): Unexpected busfree in Command phase, 1 SCBs aborted, PRGMCNT == >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Dump Card State Begins <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< scsi0: Dumping Card State at program address 0x197 Mode 0x11 Card was paused Expected results: It should work. Additional info: /dev/st0 work just fine. /dev/st0l *definitely* used to work. Drive: Quantum VS160 SCSI: Adaptec 39320A
