    Hi All,
            I have an xSeries ES4 machine 2.6.9-5.ELsmp which takes my tape
    drive offline after a cpio backup. Reboot brings it back online.
     
                    find pro data home etc -print | cpio -ocB | dd ibs=1k
    obs=64k of=/dev/st0
     
            anyone experiencing anything similar? Im thinking that a driver
    is having a problem with the 2.6 kernel? Any ideas?
     
     
    Now doing backups
    Backing up /
    155170 blocks
    775850+0 records in
    12122+1 records out
    dd: closing output file `/dev/st0': Input/output error
    Errors were encountered during backup - ABORTING
