We are trying to use a Dell poweredge 1300 with a dds4 tape drive When we try reading from a tape, the reading process gets stuck in D state after the last data has been read. According to ps l, the process is stuck in down_failed. Turning hardware compression on and off, or switching to a DDS2 tape does not solve the problem. This is the tape drive (AKA Dell PowerVault 100T DDS4 Drive) Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 06 Lun: 00 Vendor: ARCHIVE Model: Python 06408-XXX Rev: 8071 Type: Sequential-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 03 The SCSI card is an adaptec : SCSI Adapter: Adaptec AHA-294X Ultra2 SCSI host adapter Ultra-2 LVD/SE Wide Controller at PCI 0/13/0 The system is running stock RedHat 6.2 2.2.14-6.1.1smp (the problem also occurs with an up kernel, we still have to switch the default boot). Is there anything we can try ?
