Hi, I am having infuriating problems with the following setup Linux mtx adaptec 29160 scsi card spectralogic treefrog When I first bought it it worked fine for about a year. Then it randomly started getting errors. After returning it to the vendor, and getting a replacement and buying a second card and putting it on a different machine and trying different cables and terminators... I could get no consistent answer as to the cause. Then one day it started working again. Two weeks ago it stopped again. The symptoms are that I can access the tape drive ok with mt, but mtx refuses to talk to the robot, it says: reading: Check Condition [valid=0] Info fld=0x0, Current sense key: Illegal Request Additional sense indicates: Invalid field in cdb Raw sense data (in hex): 70 00 05 00 00 00 00 14 00 00 00 00 24 00 00 cd 00 02 00 00 plus...: Driver_status=0x08 (DRIVER_SENSE,SUGGEST_OK) reading: Check Condition [valid=0] Info fld=0x0, Current sense key: Illegal Request Additional sense indicates: Invalid command operation code Raw sense data (in hex): 70 00 05 00 00 00 00 14 00 00 00 00 20 00 00 cf 00 00 00 00 plus...: Driver_status=0x08 (DRIVER_SENSE,SUGGEST_OK) reading: Check Condition [valid=0] Info fld=0x0, Current sense key: Illegal Request Additional sense indicates: Invalid command operation code Raw sense data (in hex): 70 00 05 00 00 00 00 14 00 00 00 00 20 00 00 cf 00 00 00 00 plus...: Driver_status=0x08 (DRIVER_SENSE,SUGGEST_OK) mtx: Request Sense: 70 00 05 00 00 00 00 14 00 00 00 00 20 00 00 CF 00 00 00 00 READ ELEMENT STATUS Command Failed Can anyone help, as without the robot the weekly backup is going to require me to hand load the tapes.
