tapehosts crashed. We had a similar problem with remote dumping with a
4.1.1 Sun-3/60 8mm tapehost. At first the kernel paniced with a ``psig
action'' message. Sun sent us a patch for bugid 1032534, but the dumps
still fail with the following message:
st1: tape synchronization lost
psig: "rmt" signal 14 was masked, put back.
Sun knows about this problem, but doesn't have a fix yet. As a stopgap we
moved our tape drive to a 4.1.1 Sparcstation 1+, and we are crossing our
fingers.
