Hello,

I am running Linux 2.0.36 and I got a weird problem with my SCSI tape
drive. It was working without any problems for like 9 months. :-/

I have the SCSI tape support compiled as a module and when I try e.g. "mt
-f /dev/st0 status" I get the following lines in my syslog:

kernel: Detected scsi tape st0 at scsi1, channel 0, id 6. lun 0
kernel: 
kernel: No tape buffers allocated at initialization.
kernel: st: Can't allocate new tape buffer (nbr 0).
kernel: st0: Can't allocate tape buffer.
kernel: st: Unloaded.

Any ideas why it all of a sudden can't allocate the "tape buffer" ?

Harry
