CAM changes causing prob?

[Stephen Hocking-Senior Programmer PGS Tensor Perth]

After the last lot of CAM changes, I occasionally get processes hanging 
attempting to access my QIC-525 tape drive. They can't be killed, so doing 
backups can be a mite troublesome. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. 
There seems to be some relation to how recently the last lot of tape activity 
was (althought this is rather tenuous).

It would be usefull to see the "ps -l" output for the hung process so
we know what resource it is blocking on.
