Hello,

I and my error are back: In 2.0.32 the SCSI hang during backup still 
occurs. I got a

scsi0: Referenced SCB 255 not valid during SELTO

and the machine stoped any disc accesses (while performing never 
ending SCSI resets). The light of the host adapter was permanently on 
during that.

My hardware is a 2940 (AIC7871 Rev. 3), and I backed up a Conner 1GB 
SCSI disk (ID 0) to a HP SCSI DAT (ID 2). I had enabled SCB paging 
and tagged queueing. I never had a problem with disk-only access.

As reported before the /proc/scsi/aic7xxx/0 statistics still store 
tape wites as reads!

I copied some of the messages by hand; maybe they are helpful, but I 
was unable to capture any messages to a disc; sorry!

SCSISEQ = 0x5a SEQADDR=0x4 SSTAT0=0x15 SSTAT1=0x8a

Ulrich
