Public bug reported: There are multiple problems with tape drives when using a media changer on an hpsa controller. The problem appears for example when you label tapes in Dell Netvault.
The problem does not appear in current vanilla kernel 4.2.3. After bisecting the problem the actually first good commit is: 3ce438df106826edde7ad724f3819716a3f0cf56 is the first bad commit commit 3ce438df106826edde7ad724f3819716a3f0cf56 Author: Matt Gates <[email protected]> Date: Wed Dec 4 17:10:36 2013 -0600 [SCSI] hpsa: allow SCSI mid layer to handle unit attention We were clobbering the SCSI status and setting cmd->result = DID_SOFT_ERROR << 16; to get a retry, but better to let the mid layer handle the unit attention.
