Hi Gary,

I know what you mean by "hijacking a thread" now.
I was reading that message when I decided to post my question from the same window.

Today I cleared the tape drive with an official cleaning cartridge but it made no difference to the error:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

sg_raw -o - -r 1024 -t 60 -v /dev/sg1 8c 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 04 00 00 00
    cdb to send: [8c 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 04 00 00 00]
SCSI Status: Check Condition

Sense Information:

        00 00 00 00 00

Error 9 occurred, no data received
Illegal request, Invalid opcode

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

If it was some kind of a hardware fault I should be seeing other problems, shouldn't I?

All backups and Bacula scripts keep completing without errors, it's just this one command that fails.
I've even run a big restore as a test and it all looks perfectly fine.

I don't have any spare hardware try different configuration.
Is there anything else to try to determine the root cause?
Why would a reboot alone trigger it?

Regards,
Adam
