I believe there was a discussion of this recently - if anyone can help I would
appreciate it.

I am getting intermittent errors form my tape drives which cause the volume to
be marked read-only. These are SCSI attached 3590 drives running off an AIX
server.

I seem to remember someone talking about SCSI errors - any help??


Here is my error text:

07/24/96   06:00:35  ANR8337I 3590 volume 002436 mounted in drive TAPEDRIVE00
                      (/dev/rmt0).
