On both 2.5.60 and 2.5.61 when there is no tape loaded in my SCSI DAT
tape drive, access to the drive blocks for exactly 2 minutes
before timing out and giving an I/O error.
# mt stat
....... < 2 minutes later > ...
/dev/tape: Input/output error
< me putting a tape in the unit>
# mt stat
SCSI 2 tape drive:
File number=0, block number=0, partition=0.
Tape block size 0 bytes. Density code 0x25 (DDS-3).
Soft error count since last status=0
General status bits on (45010000):
BOT WR_PROT ONLINE IM_REP_EN
I don't remember seeing this on earlier 2.5.5[0-3] or so kernels,
looks like a bug in the SCSI layer.
Output from dmesg (2.5.61):
