- When trying to write to an Exabyte EXB-8500 I get the following:
-
- as1a: controller error 0x12 writing fsbn 0-19
- scsi sense: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ...
-
- I have the variable-length patches installed. Same problems occur regardless
- of blocking.
-
- Even with the tape as SCSI unit 1, it is not recognized in the boot probe.
- But on the first attempt to access it, it does probe it and announces
- an Exabyte 8500, etc.
-
- The 8500 can store 5 GB. Might that > 4 GB capacity change the way some
- things need to work?
