 When encrypting or decrypting a cartridge and TapeServer stops, temporary
directory and file are not deleted. Do not stop TapeServer or restart VTS unless the
system is quiesced. (TL-3071)
 SCSI EJECT command on an empty VTD hangs the calling client's mt command.
When sending a SCSI EJECT command (mt -f /dev/st? eject) to an empty VTD, the
command will take up to a minute to timeout prior to returning. In releases before 6.04,
this command would return immediately. (TL-2317)
 Error message displayed on console after the system is booted for the first time.
Messages similar to the following are displayed on the console the first time VTS is
booted:
Mounting other filesystems: [ OK ]
Starting hp-ilo:/opt/hp/hp-ilo/drivers/char/hp_ilo/CpqCiKlx.c: In
functionoctl32_handler':
/opt/hp/hp-ilo/drivers/char/hp_ilo/CpqCiKlx.c:680: warning:

/opt/hp/hp-ilo/drivers/char/hp_ilo/CpqCiKlx.c:796: warning: cast from

/opt/hp/hp-ilo/drivers/char/hp_ilo/CpqCiKlx.c:796: warning: cast from

...
These messages can be ignored. (TL-2079)
 The “mount /dev/cdrom” command no longer works because CD media is
handled differently. The new VTS operating system (CentOS 5.2) handles removable
media mounting differently than in previous releases. Removable media is automounted
on /media through the Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) without entries in /etc/fstab in
much the same manner as removable media in Windows XP. From the console, however,
media is not automounted. (TL-1755)
 Linux kernel error message logged to /var/log/messages. Messages similar to the
following are logged to /var/log/messages:
Jul 10 16:23:23 localhost kernel: Contact your BIOS vendor to see if
the E752x error registers can be safely un-hidden
This is caused by a known Linux kernel driver issue for CentOS 5.2 and does not hinder
system operation. Ignore these messages. (TL-1853)
 Must use the rewinding name of a drive for import_export_drive_exclude
parameter in vts.conf. When specifying devices to be excluded from imports or exports
using the import_export_drive_exclude parameter in vts.conf, be sure to use the
rewinding name of the drive rather than the non-rewinding name. That is, use '/dev/st0',
not '/dev/nst0'. (TL-1962)
