Hi Ted, Today I discovered that I can't backup more than 2.4G to a DDS-2 tape using 2.4.0-test7-pre5. Rebooting back to 2.4.0-test1-ac18 works just fine. Tried multiple tapes to make sure it's not a defective tape. Other devices (hard disk, cdwriter and zipdrive) on the same scsi bus work fine. The adapter is "04 90 78 71" (Adaptec AHA-294x / AIC-7871 (rev 03)). The tape drive is: Vendor: ARCHIVE Model: Python 04687-XXX Rev: 6610 Problem is reproducible. After 2.4G tar fails with EIO and I get some SCSI sense error stuff in the log (ok, I should have saved it, I know). Of course, more information will be provided but as I only need the drive to do backups I can do them using AlanCox-18 kernel (which rescued me so many times in the past!).
