I've got a problem.  I've got an Ultra 5 with a SCSI/ethernet card
that probes up as isp0 and hme1.  The machine has NetBSD 1.6.1
installed on the internal IDE drive.

Under heavy use, the hme1 has poor performance a) because it's half
duples and b) because it's spitting out console messages.  I solved
this probem by inserting an fxp0 into the machine.

Now I have two tape drives:

st0 at scsibus0 target 0 lun 0: <EXABYTE, EXB-89008E030203, V37f> SCSI2 1/sequential removable
st0: density code 39, 1024-byte blocks, write-enabled
st0: sync (100.0ns offset 12), 16-bit (20.000MB/s) transfers
st1 at scsibus0 target 15 lun 0: <HP, C5683A, C908> SCSI2 1/sequential removable
st1: density code 37, variable blocks, write-enabled

I havn't tried st1 yet (doing so now), but writing to st0 to the end
of the tape produces endless copies of the following message:

st0(isp0:0:0:0):  Check Condition on CDB: 0x0a 00 00 08 00 00
    SENSE KEY:  Volume Overflow
                EOM Detected
   INFO FIELD:  2048
 COMMAND INFO:  55 (0x37)
     ASC/ASCQ:  End-Of-Partition/Medium Detected

... it would seem that the driver should just return EOM to the tar
process... but that doesn't appear to be the case.

Dave.
