Once a week I have a random /dev/st0 input/output error with an LTO on
xSeries 236 running ES Ver 4 2.6.9-22.Elsmp.
Tapes are loaded correctly and are write enabled.
cat /proc/scsi/scsi
Host: scsi4 Channel: 00 Id: 03 Lun: 00
Vendor: IBM Model: HH LTO Gen 2 Rev: 0202
Type: Sequential-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 03
dmesg | grep st0 shows ?
st0: Error with sense data: Current st0: sense key Illegal Request
Attached scsi tape st0 at scsi4, channel 0, id 3, lun 0
st0: try direct i/o: yes (alignment 512 B), max page reachable by HBA
134217727
st0: Block limits 256 - 524288 bytes.
lsmod
scsi_mod 116429 6 aic79xx,usb_storage,st,sg,ips,sd_mod
Should I blow away the TAPE in /etc/sysconfig/hwconf and let kudzu find
it again on reboot ?
Can anyone interpret the sense data messages ?
Does the tape need some manual config settings ?
Thanks
Greg
