I think the problem I see is similar to the second case:
Oct 24 23:24:35 ursula kernel: hdc: irq timeout: status=0xd8 { Busy }
Oct 24 23:24:36 ursula kernel: hdc: ATAPI reset complete
Oct 24 23:24:36 ursula kernel: ide-tape: ht0: I/O error, pc = a, key =
6, asc = 29, ascq = 0
and the tar fails with an I/O error.
For me, it happens about half the time while running UP. Under SMP, I
don't think I tried more than a couple of times.
