Yes, I've seen exactly the same thing shortly after booting:
Nov 3 11:44:37 MindBender /netbsd: st0(ahc0:2:0): Check Condition on opcode 0x0
Nov 3 11:44:37 MindBender /netbsd: SENSE KEY: Unit Attention
Nov 3 11:44:37 MindBender /netbsd: ASC/ASCQ: Not Ready To Ready Transition (Medium May Have C
hanged)
In addition, I've seen this during or after a backup session:
Nov 3 12:44:53 MindBender /netbsd: st0(ahc0:2:0): Check Condition on opcode 0xa
Nov 3 12:44:53 MindBender /netbsd: SENSE KEY: No Additional Sense
Nov 3 12:44:53 MindBender /netbsd: ASC/ASCQ: ASC 0x82 ASCQ 0x82
Nov 3 12:44:53 MindBender /netbsd:
My clean-tape light was on after I came in and checked this, so that
might have been the cause???
FWIW, its an IBM-branded Archive DDS-2 drive:
ahc0: target 2 synchronous at 5.0MHz, offset = 0xf
st0 at scsibus0 targ 2 lun 0: <ARCHIVE, IBM4326NP/RP !D, 4.AC> SCSI2 1/sequential removable
