Topic: SCSI Tape error

[Bob Morrison]

I've noticed in the last couple of days, that I get the following entries in the logs, repeated numerous times:

Mar 25 02:50:01 e-smith kernel: st0: Error with sense data: [valid=0] Info fld=0x0, Current st09:00: sense key Illegal Request
Mar 25 02:50:01 e-smith kernel: Additional sense indicates Invalid command operation code

I have an IDE 8 GB ST-8000 tape drive. It seems to still be working fine, I get the email message in the morning, saying that the tape backup is done, but now the tape drive cycles on during the day, and I get these entries in the log.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Bob
