We have a pair of Overland AIT-2 tape changers installed on an Ultra-160.
We were using 'rmt' and ufsdump to dump data to individual tapes on the

Problem is, we're getting nothing but I/O errors from the drives now.
Here's what happens if I do an 'mt -f /dev/rmt/1 status':

(On the command line, I just see /dev/rmt/0: I/O error)

mtx status works, I see:

Any ideas?  I've rebooted the machine to clear the scsi condition, and
powered off and on the changers to do the same.  nada.
