Hello Kern-

Thanks for the reply.  Something like that may be at the root of the problem, 
but the drive does not report being in SysV mode.  It shows only these options 
set: buffer-writes, async-writes, read-ahead, can-bsr and scsi2logical.

The Tape Testing Tools and their debug modes were very helpful for working 
through the problem.  Whatever it is seems to be very specific to enabling 
hardware encryption on my IBM LTO-4 SCSI drives.  They’re fine with encryption 
off, and the HP LTO-5 and 6 SAS drives I have work fine with encryption on or 
off.
