Hello,
This morning after months of successful use my Exabyte tape drive
just 'took a dump' as we say. It kept giving me device not ready or
offline? (Not exact text). Anyway I did a dd if=/dev/rst2 a few times on
it to try and read the tape headers I have for my backup tapes and after
several tries I received this in my console window.
si0: si_cmd: no command phase
si0: resetting scsi bus
csr= 0x1407 bcr= 0 tcr= 0x0
cbsr= 0x40 (DATA OUT) cdr= 0x0 mr= 0x0 bsr= 0x18
target= 0, lun= 0 DMA addr= 0x0 count= 0 (0)
cdb= 0 0 0 0 0 0
last phase= 0x81 (Arbitration)

last phase= 0x81 (Arbitration)
last phase= 0x8c (Cmd complete MSG) 0
last phase= 0xc (STATUS) 0

Guess what after it reset now it works. Anyone have any idea why
this is.
