Hi,
actually yes. I have. I did restore some backups a while ago, but it
_could_ be that the Tape drive was connected to a Sym53c875. I
experience exactly the same problem that you describe at the moment (on
an Adaptec UW controller). I currently have a brand new advance exchange
unit directly from OnStream (while my local dealer was a complete
failure in getting any support, the people from the OnStream hotline are
very nice and competent and _really_ helpful. For their support, I can
really recommend Onstream).
This brand new tape drive shows exactly the same symptoms. So I do
consider this either a systematic failure in our (quite similar) HW
setup (I use RH6.2+ with 2.2 kernel) or a real issue with the drive
firmware which would be very sad.
I'm right now in the process of swapping SCSI controllers; I will keep
you informed.

Henning
