Description jreynold 1999-09-28 05:20:01 UTC 
Running 3.3-STABLE. Had problems getting new TapeStor 8000 from Seagate to
work properly. People on -scsi said to try "seteotmodel" to change the EOT
characteristics from 2 to 1. This worked. I then modified scsi_sa.c to add a
quirk entry that works to put this particular tape into '1-mode' automatically
without having to remember to use the mt command.

Fix: The following patch to src/sys/cam/scsi/scsi_sa.c was posted to -scsi over a
week ago but has not been committed as of yet. I would appreciate it very much
if someone would. Thank you!

--------
How-To-Repeat: 
Using a TapeStor 8000 drive, try doing successive dump(8)'s to the tape using
the non-rewinding device /dev/nrsa0. The drive will simply "freak out" and a
hard reboot will be in order. 

Using this quirk entry or "mt seteotmodel 1" fixes the problem and allows
multiple files to be placed onto the tape.
