I cannot label tapes because it tells me the slot is
empty, even though it isn't.  The tapes are already
labelled though, there is a full tapelist.  It's like
it just won't recognize any tapes that are in the
drives, and I can't find much.  I did find this error
pertaining to the scsi bus the drives are on:

WARNING: /pci@1f,4000/scsi@3,1 (glm1):
     got SCSI bus reset
WARNING: /pci@1f,4000/scsi@3,1 (glm1):
     Resetting scsi bus, got unsupported extended
message from (4,0)
WARNING: /pci@1f,4000/scsi@3,1 (glm1):
     got SCSI bus reset
WARNING: /pci@1f,4000/scsi@3,1 (glm1):
     Resetting scsi bus, got unsupported extended
message from (4,1)
WARNING: /pci@1f,4000/scsi@3,1 (glm1):
     got SCSI bus reset
WARNING: /pci@1f,4000/scsi@3,1 (glm1):
     Resetting scsi bus, got unsupported extended
message from (4,2)

Anyone have an idea what that refers to?  This backup
setup has been working for some time, although on
occassion I have seen problems with writing to all 4
drives.  I guess I could have a problem with the
cables.  And I'm wondering if the (4,0) (4,1) (4,2)
part of this message refer to /dev/rmt/0ubn, 1ubn, and
2ubn.

But if I have a cable problem, would amanda still show
the drives being empty instead of no drives at all?

mt command doesn't work though, so maybe this says
something.

twdbs001:/export/home/amanda$ mt -f
/devices/pci@1f,4000/scsi@3,1/st@2,0:ubn rewind
/devices/pci@1f,4000/scsi@3,1/st@2,0:ubn: No such
device or address


Thanks,
Adam
