SCSI / AIC7xxx / Tape Library Problem

[Thomas Black]

Hi there

I have a problem with an Ecrix Autopak tape library on Ubuntu. This problem first appeared in Breezy but has persisted through to Dapper. Currently I'm running kernel version 2.6.15-26-686 SMP. This bug prevents the use of backup programs such as Amanda and Arkeia. Steps to reproduce are easy:

Simply load a tape into the library using mtx:

root@gramps:~ # mtx -f /dev/sg1 load 5
(long pause)
mtx: Request Sense: Long Report=yes
mtx: Request Sense: Valid Residual=yes
mtx: Request Sense: Error Code=70 (Current)
mtx: Request Sense: Sense Key=Not Ready
mtx: Request Sense: FileMark=no
mtx: Request Sense: EOM=no
mtx: Request Sense: ILI=no
mtx: Request Sense: Residual = 00 00 00 00
mtx: Request Sense: Additional Sense Code = 04
mtx: Request Sense: Additional Sense Qualifier = 00
mtx: Request Sense: BPV=no
mtx: Request Sense: Error in CDB=no
mtx: Request Sense: SKSV=no
MOVE MEDIUM from Element Address 4 to 82 Failed

Dmesg reports the following error:

[17181728.712000] st0: Block limits 1 - 245760 bytes.

I've tried different SCSI cards (although all aic7xxx family), different tape drives and different emulation modes on the tape library, but nothing works.

I though it may be similar to one or two other current bugs, but they all seem to be resolved in the latest kernel release while this problem still persists.

Thanks.

As an additional note - unloading tapes from the drive seems to work fine; the problem is specifically with loading.

Did this work prior to breezy using linux?

Hi Ben

> Did this work prior to breezy using linux?

Yes, we started using this solution in Debian Woody days and as far as I
remember it was still working with Ubuntu Hoary although I wasn't
involved for some time after that. However, I can confirm that it ran as
a stable solution for many years under Debian / Ubuntu. I read that the
AIC7xxx driver was rewritten in the recent 2.6 kernel series, which
could possibly be the cause. I did try the aic7xxx_old module but didn't
get much further.

If it'll help in encouraging this bug to be tracked down, I can add that
we're experiencing this in Mark Shuttleworth's Cape Town data centre
(the country club) which is now unfortunately without off-site backup.

I really don't know what else to try apart from roll-back to a 2.4
series kernel or early 2.6. Given that I think it's an AIC7xxx issue
I've also tried to source some non-adaptec SCSI cards to test but
haven't had much luck with that yet.

Regards

-Thomas

Hello. I think this bug is similar, if not identical, to a long-standing bug I have reported in the debian bug reports, then later in the kernel bug reports. Please take a look here:

http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5268

Perhaps if someone other than myself can verify this bug and demonstrate a 2nd, totally unrelated computer, has the same problem, it will gain a little priority and get fixed. Presently, I have just quite using this tape drive and using the later kernels since I have another tape drive that is doing the backups. But, I would like to gain this tape drive back. It worked fine under 2.6.12.6 and earlier.

Thank you for your bug report. Do you still have this issue with the latest stable release of Ubuntu ?

[James D. Freels (freelsjd)]

This issue was corrected by a patch that is going to be in the 2.6.23
release of the kernel.
This issue was corrected only about a month ago.

Ok thank you, I'm marking this as triaged.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Beginning with the Hardy Heron 8.04 development cycle, all open Ubuntu kernel bugs need to be reported against the "linux" kernel package. We are automatically migrating this linux-source-2.6.15 kernel bug to the new "linux" package. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we make this transition. Also, if you would be interested in testing the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release, it is available at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing . Please let us know your results. Thanks!

[Leann Ogasawara (leannogasawara)]

The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test:

1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux-image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test.

--or--

2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD.

Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel. Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback.

[James D. Freels (freelsjd)]

I responded earlier to this bug report that it was fixed by a kernel
upgrade. The machine that I had this bug on is not running Ubuntu, but
is running Debian/Etch. Therefore, I cannot test this new kernel
against this bug.

Sorry.

Per a decision made by the Ubuntu Kernel Team, bugs will longer be assigned to the ubuntu-kernel-team in Launchpad as part of the bug triage process. The ubuntu-kernel-team is being unassigned from this bug report. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeamBugPolicies for more information. Thanks.
