I have gotten my drive working using the info in the how-to
and the archives.
There was a thread sometime back about how people got errors
when tarring large amounts of data.
I've been getting errors while untarring data, even as little
as 12Mb.
I've using the block size of 32k and its working better now,
however now when I try to do a full system backup by using the
command:
tar -b 64 -czvf /dev/pt0 /
the drive works for about 15 minutes, stuff scrolls down the
screen, then i get this:

here is the relevant dmesg output AFTER this happens, I only
posted about 1/5 of it, because its mostly the same thing
repeating over and over:

--------------------------------------
After that happens, the drive doesnt work at all. When I try
using it, it doesn't make any sounds at all, just gives me the
error.
I have to reload the modules, after that it works fine again.
In the other thread they said that it was a bug in the module,
is that whats causiong it? is there any way I can get around
it?
Im running redhat 8.0 by the way.
Help please.
Peace,
-Dmitriy
