It is setup as such: Overland tape library, drive inside it. Drive connects to library via one cable, then another cable connects to scsi card in linux machine - It has been setup like this for a couple of years now. It could very well be the cable degrading, or the card in the linux machine. That is something I am yet to check. Our other drive is being replaced today (For a NEW ibm lto 3 drive) so hopefully i can test that one - if i get th same issues ,we can say it is something else other than the drives. I'll let you all know what i find.
