     I'm having problems writing and reading from an Sony AIT-3 SCSI tape
drive.  After boot up, I can write to the tape drive and read from it.
 However, the next time I try to write to the tape drive, it fails.  I've
found the following in the system logs at the same time of the failures:

	kernel: st: failed to enlarge buffer to 1048576 bytes.

     I've done some Google searching and have found a number of posts with the
same problem, but I couldn't find any solutions.  Anyone have any suggestions
on how to fix this problem?  Rebooting the machine after ever backup isn't a
good solution at the moment.  Any help greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
