Exabyte Problems (Summary)
2007-12-25 7:28:00
with 'st1: media failure' and there is a resolution.
On OLDER Exabyte 8200's, especially those with the 4$23 MX proms and the
B0 series SV proms, there exists some data patterns that the servo
board thinks is end of file and the micro-processor thinks is data.
This causes it to declare the error. The more current firmware solves
this.
I was sent new firmware and replaced the e-proms, (MX 2618, SV C034)
and all works fine now.
I want to thank Exabyte for their help in this, they were very courtious
and helped me throught it step by step. (And this drive is three years
old....)
