I experienced numerous problems with SCSI timeouts on the CD when the HD was
also active, these causing SCSI bus resets that made the kernel rather
unhappy... still running, but unhappy.
A co-worker suggested that I remove the SCSI-1 device (the tape) and stress
test it.... I have had no problems since then, and I stressed it out really
seriously.
Anybody else out there (hello, scsi driver folks) have any ideas about mixing
scsi-1 and scsi-2 devices on the same host adapter, and should it work, or
should I just be really careful until I can get a new tape drive?
FWIW this is kernel 1.2.9 on an all-ELF system (kernel itself is the
only a.out binary).
