The SCSI controller is a Symbios 860. >How-To-Repeat: Insert a write-protected tape in the tape drive and run dump to output to it. Dump output looks normal (except for *much* higher than possible transfer rate for this drive) but the tape in the drive never moves (it is selected, i.e., its activity light turns on). >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: State-Changed-From-To: open->feedback State-Changed-By: mike State-Changed-When: Thu Jul 19 14:46:20 PDT 2001 State-Changed-Why: Does this problem still occur in newer versions of FreeBSD, such as 4.3-RELEASE? http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=9933 From: Mike Barcroft To: Bob Willcox Cc: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: i386/9933: No error reported writing to write-protected tape in Wangtek 51000 tape drive.
