Interesting. I ran the last Quantum drive as /dev/st0 and never had issues.
I've changed over to /dev/nst0 and will see how it runs now.

backup@scriptor:~/campus$ mt -f /dev/nst0 status
SCSI 2 tape drive:
File number=0, block number=0, partition=0.
Tape block size 0 bytes. Density code 0x46 (LTO-4).
Soft error count since last status=0
General status bits on (41010000):
 BOT ONLINE IM_REP_EN

Thanks for your help.

Kind regards,
Chris
