 Hi,

 We're running into an issue with LTO7 drives on Linux, where LSHW will
 cause the drive to rewind when it queries it.  We haven't seen this at all
 on LTO6 drives so it could be an issue with the LTO7 drivers but I figured
 I'd try here first.

 I tracked this down by adding debug logging to the scsi/st drivers on
 rewind, the logs below show it was the LSHW process that caused the
 rewind:

 Haven't looked too closely at the LSHW source, but I assume it opens LTO
 devices to throw iocotls at them to get statistics etc?  And this is
 somehow causing a rewind on LTO7 but not LTO6 or earlier.

 Any ideas what could be causing this?

 CC'd in linux-scsi in case it's a LTO7 driver specific problem.

 Thanks,
 - Alex.
