hey Folks,
Anyone ever senn these error with a DLT 8000 My backups have been failing lately. One symtom gave all lights on solid and yet the leader. here are the system log file entries, mt status output and the output
of cat /proc/scsi/aic7xxx/1 -- I do notice that the Tape drive entry
in the proc file system has something about 35852 Commands queued -
this was only 129 before I ran the test. And I'm not sure why there
would be any commands queued when it's not doing anything.

Unfortunately the SCSI controller is on the motherboard so I'm going to
check ASUS's website to see if there are any updates there..

 
Had the same symptom numerous times - always turned out to be the controller logic on the DLT8000 drive - 'solved' by warranty swap out every time.
