Note that the error messages that you are seeing are coming from the Adaptec firmware, not FreeBSD or the aac driver. Also, the aacp device and backing firmware support are really just hacks that exist to allow cdroms to be booted and drives to be flashed with new firmware. I've never heard of anyone running a tape drive in this fashion, so it will be quite interesting to see if newer firmware helps.

SCSI errors with Adaptec 2200S RAID
Please cc replies directly to me, as I am not subscribed to the lists. With some help from here, I was able to get this RAID card to see our external DLT (QUANTUM 4000) SCSI tape drive by installing the aacp (pass through) driver in addition to the aac driver. camcontrol now works, as do basic mt commands and amcheck (amanda check). However, (amanda) dumps either hang, fail completely or fail after transfering very little data. On the console, I see: (sa0:aacp1:0:4:0): READ(06).
