Input/Output errors with LSI SAS 9207-4i4e HBA and a Quantum LTO-7 HH

[z3cko]

I have multiple errors with an LSI SAS 9207-4i4e HBA and a Quantum LTO-7 HH drive (Archlinux, Kernel 6.8.1)

Describe the bug I do not find any drives when checking with ltfs -o device_list. I can mount old tapes via ltfs /mnt/ltfs -o devicename=/dev/st0 ; but in this case every tape i read from has an input/output error (directory contents are available, but file contents broken).

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. sudo ltfs /mnt/ltfs -o devicename=/dev/st0
2. sudo cp /mnt/ltfs/test.txt /home/z3cko/

cp: error reading 'test.txt': Input/Output error

Additional context $ lsscsi [6:0:2:0] tape QUANTUM ULTRIUM-HH7 K4K5 /dev/st0

I'm currently having a similar issue. ltfs -o device_list does not work for me either. However, my machine can see the HBA card connecting my drive to my server via lspci.

As you can see in the README, please do not use st device, use sg device.

For more lower level listing than ltfs -o device_list, you can use lsscsi -g.

Please provide a log of LTFS if the problem happens in a sg device.
