We hava a Sony SDT-9000 that locks up the machine. It has been tried in two
different machines and does the same thing, We also tried a Seagate 24GB
drive in those same machines and it works flawlessly.
The machine locks up to the point where SysRq still works but can't perform
any IO function so Emergency sync does not work but Dumping Memory stats
still works.
The Tape Drive has been sent back to the supplier under warranty and tested,
they claim that It is okay.
The Scsi controllers are different in both machines, various kernel versions
have been tried.
When we first bought the tape drive it worked fine for about three months
before this happened.
Any ideas..
