Greetings! Two ide tapes, both on second ide channel, both using
ide-scsi. One works perfectly, the other basically works, but gives
errors, and occasionally doesn't write full 32k blocks to tape,
causing amanda errors.

and occaisional 'gunzip: unexpected end of file' errors on verifying
the tape.
