Severity: important
Hello,
there is a bug in the gdth driver causing crashes and potential data
losses when using tape. The bug is also described and confirmed on the lklm
on 13 Oct 2006
Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
The included patch is derived directly from that mail.
Please consider including it until it has made it upstream, as it
endangers machines doing tape backups.
Bye,
Joerg
