Compiled the latest Ultrastor 24f driver (Version 1.11) with linux
pl13. Compiled first time. Appears to be OK however there as still
problems when using a SCSI Archive viper 150S tape drive. When writing
to the tape drive everything is OK. reading from the tape drive causes
the machine to hang after some prolonged (5-10 mins) usage. The
problem seems to be very intermittent. The driver does not spew out
any error messages like the older versions did.
This new driver is supposed to work OK with tape drives but does not
appear to be reliable all the time. The same problem seems to exists
as with the older drivers. Any suggestions ?
Cheers
