I'be been told, by a tape library technichian, than LTO incorporates a small chip on the tapes, that will have an index of what and where stuff is on the tape. If the process gets unclean shut down (power-failure sd-crash or similar) then then it will know that the chip isn't current and have to scan the entire tape to update the chip before any actions can take place. This looks like the daemon is haning to the OS as is in fact taking way longer than 120s. That perfectly fits the cases where I see the above messages on my storage daemon. -- Jesper ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Special Offer-- Download ArcSight Logger for FREE (a $49 USD value)!
