https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=208782 ------- Comment #28 from hare@novell.com 2006-10-06 02:14 MST ------- Well, it's quite tricky. My current thinking is that the patch mentioned in comment #14 somehow triggered a race condition in that it allowed some ioctl's to pass through without any synchronisation with the tape driver. And as these beasts are notoriously sensitive to command ordering (ie I'm not sure it's a good idea to pass down a 'Test Unit Ready' whilst a read() is in progress) I would think that one ioctl previous to the actual read() messed up the driver and this go downhill from there ... So, I would think that the new kernel-source should not exhibit the oops. If it still does, can you please back-out the patch from comment #15 and re-run the tests? If it still oopses, well, back to the drawing board. Speaking of which: what do you set the block size at? Anything larger than 512kB? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
