Description Martin Hardcastle 2006-09-13 07:15:53 UTC

Most recent kernel where this bug did not occur:
Distribution: Debian sarge (up-to-date) IA32
Hardware Environment: Dual Opteron 250. Adaptec AIC-7892A U160 SCSI card, HP
DAT-72 tape drive, other SCSI devices on bus.
Software Environment:
Problem Description:

I inadvertently typed (as a user)

mf -f /dev/st0 setblk 10240

This gives the following oops

Sep 13 12:47:32 hercules kernel:  <1>Fixing recursive fault but reboot is needed!

The tape drive is then stuck (with a dead mf process) and reboot is needed. mf
is the LaTeX metafont program: i.e. clearly it shouldn't do anything remotely
sensible when applied to a tape device. Equally clearly it shouldn't give a
kernel oops.

Steps to reproduce:

install mf (-:
run command as above.

I have not tried reverting to older kernels as the machine is a server...

Comment 1 Oliver Paulus 2007-02-11 11:33:06 UTC

I have a very similar problem with Linux Kernel 2.6.18 on a AMD64 and the tar
command.
Distribution: Debian Etch (testing)
Hardware Environment: HP DAT-40 tape drive, Adaptec 2940UW controller

Comment 2 Oliver Paulus 2007-02-16 15:25:20 UTC

seems to be a copy of bug 7919. I have compiled a new 2.6.18-5 kernel with the
patch provided in bug 7919 (with minimal changes). Everything is working now.

Comment 3 Natalie Protasevich 2007-07-23 00:57:36 UTC

Great, thanks. This bug can be closed as duplicate.
