Do you have any messages related to the SCSI subsystem in the system log? I suspect this is either a hardware problem (which you can verify using, for example, dd to write lots of stuff to the tape in question) or a driver / module problem. You'd have to tell us which SCSI HBA you use, which module is loaded, diagnostic output from 'cat /proc/scsi/scsi' ant the like. Perhaps someone observes something unusual. Also, did you use the tape drive and tapes with different software without any problems? > Damaged buffers found at btape.c:284 > discovery of data overrun. > Buffer address: 57c620 > Damaged buffer: 64528 bytes allocated at line 118 of btape block.c Might also be a problem in the software - did you compile yourself, for 64 bit or 32 bit architecture, with all the correct libraries etc?
