This is the nsrmmd process getting stuck in a hardware call. Changing the
drivers may resolve the issue, but it's standard behaviour for any Unix OS -
software calls can be interrupted, hardware calls can't.
Cheers,
Stuart.

Subject: [Networker] Linux storage node problem
Hi everybody,
we see a strange behavior of our Linux (Redhat 3.0) storage nodes when
using a bad tape - nsrmmd starts to hang and we have to reboot the linux
server to use the drive again. Kill -9 and/or a hardware reset won´t work.
We use the scsidev-utility for our storage nodes, not the /dev/nst?-
devices. Could this be the reason? Does anybody know this behavior?
Networker Server is W2K3 Server, networker version is 7.3.2 jumbo patch.
Thanks,
Christian
