This is with Sony SDT-7000 drive connected to a AHA1542 controller.

The problem did not repeat after I have over-written the tape
thet caused it in the first place.

IMHO, the problem is not related to the host adapter or the
drive type. The drive returned an error and the SCSI error handling
has set SDpnt->online = FALSE (why?). When trying to reopen the
device scsi_block_when_processing_errors() returned FALSE.

BTW, in 2.0.36-pre13 there was a 'st0: Incorrect block size.'
kernel error message.
