All this time I didnt notice 1 thing about my problem with my tape drive.
I have been having timeouts when trying to write to tapes. I finally put
another tape drive on, another cable, and different tapes, but still the
same thing. The tape drive ID is 4, and I hadnt noticed that the timeout
error showed ID 2 as the device with the time out!  The device which is #2
actually is a drive containing /home, which seems to be working fine.
Anyone have any ideas why a hard disk that seems to be functioning fine
would cause a timeout on another device?!
