We are running a VAX 780. The tape drives are Kennedy 9400's. We are having a tape related protection fault panic. I am no kernel pro, but it appears to happen when the driver (ht.c) calls the 'clrbuf' macro. From the code, (and other drivers), I gather that this call is for a boundary condition when using blocked tape. We, however, use raw tape always. We don't even have nodes for block tape. The crash is not frequent, and after a reboot, the offending tape often reads perfectly (even though several hard errors preceded the crash). Can anyone comment?
