Ufsdump, Write error, SCSI timeout: SOLVED

Ufsdump, Write error, SCSI timeout: SOLVED

Post by Eric L. Scho » Fri, 16 Jun 1995 04:00:00



I previously reported a problem where I was obtaining write errors while
running ufsdump.  The /var/adm/message file showed SCSI timeouts were
occurring.

Experimentation showed that
  1.  The errors occurred on 8mm also with tar and also while reading.
  2.  I did not see the timeout errors with a 4mm drive.

I installed patch 102002-03.  This solved the problem.  No tape drive
timeouts.
