Hello,

I have a problem which relates to both SCSI and my tape drive so I sent
this message to both linux-scsi and linux-tape mailing list.

First of all my configuration:
Pentium 120
32MB RAM
								id
Adaptec 	2940UW						7
Seagate 	ST31200N	1.0GB HD	synch	10MHz	0
NEC 		D3827		1.0GB HD	synch	10MHz	1
Toshiba 	XM3401TA 	CD-ROM		synch	4MHz	2
Syquest 	SQ3270S		270MB removable	synch	5MHz	3
Conner		CTMS3200	4GB (2GB native) synch	5MHz	6

and kernel 2.0.27 and 2.0.30

The speeds is what I got from the kernel-messages.

I added the tape-drive when I was running kernel 2.0.27. I started
making backups, first with TAR, then with Taper. About 2 weeks this went
flawlessly, then I started to get errors in mid-backup. (Error file as
attachment)
I upgraded my kernel to 2.0.30, but this was no help.
Scanning the newsgroups I read that the 2940 cards from Adaptec are not
that stable under Linux. Is this my problem? Why did it work for the
first 2 weeks then?

The tapes I use are QIC-Wide 3080 (Sony QW3080XLF). They were new when I
bought them and have been used about 10 times each now for making
backups.

Never had any problems with the disks, CD-ROM and Syquest.

Greetings,

Ringo
