What server code are you using?  There has been some discussion over the last
couple of weeks about problems like this...one report of a microcode fix, which
we are i also in the process of trying out in our test environment and should
hopefully put into production soon.

oops, The drive is a 3590-E1A.  The tapes in question are the "K" higher
capacity tapes.

I think you mean 3590E drives.  We had one upgrade kit damaged in shipment,
thanks to the trucking company.  One upgrade kit had a defective card pack,
and it took over three weeks for the replacement to arrive - from Mexico.
>From what I hear, the defect rate from that plant is pretty bad, with
drives misconfigured or otherwise inoperable, and has become an issue
within the company.
