Hi everybody!
I'm having problems with scsi timeouts in a AHA-2940A Ultra with a 4mm HP
Tape.
The timeout occurs in backups longer than 2 hours or so...
I'm using RedHat 4.0 with the kernel found in
ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/redhat-4.0/updates/images/i386/scsi
wich is supposed to be OK for my card...
The message I receive is:
Jan 3 13:22:51 roma kernel: scsi : aborting command due to timeout : pid
