All,
I had jumped on this thread (sorry) with an issue with my nsrclones hanging
when a SCSI write error was encountered. I did find the source of my
write errors to be one drive. Still, it would seem nsrclone can hang
indefinitely reading the source tape if the tape tape has a SCSI write error.
Legato has added me (and this behavior) to LGTpa60542. No hotfix for 7.1.1
yet..may have to wait for next release.
