Seems to me that this thread has gone sufficiently off the rails as to be of no help to the original question, and it's almost time for Mr Brown to weigh in with threats.
Agreed (although i have no idea who Mr. Brown is), so to get back on track: I ran mt -f /dev/st0 erase 0 the drive started to erase, at the point it started writing to the tape the same problem occurs. The same happens using tar or HP LTT to write to the tape. The drive goes 'donk' and stops dead. The tape spools for some time back and forth and repeats occasionally 'donk'ing. Eventually the drive gives up and ejects the tape then takes it back in. This repeats forever until I eject the cartridge. The server at this point is frozen on the command still. I cannot Ctrl + C, Ctrl + Z or Ctrl + \ I have no choice but to force reboot using sysrq keys. The same has happened with both of my LTO4 drives. Both HP Storageworks 1760 If I go to HP LTT, select the drive and look at the health report, It has logged the following two messages every time I experience the problem: ISCSI TaskMgmtFunction invoked: SI_LOGICAL_UNIT_RESET_MGMT_FUNC, Initiator ID: 0000h, Via SI_PRIMARY_PORT_ID, To LUN: 0h BusRst ISCSI Bus Reset Occured I have no clue what to do at this point.
