If nothing else, do this on any machine that is both an nfs server and has a tape drive. I was getting spurious SCSI buss device resets about every 2-4 hours of tape operation. This was with three different Exabyte drives and 1 HP DAT drive on two different Nexts. Problem went away with a larger nbuf number. I've not a clue why I had these errors and no one else did. No one at exabyte or at Next was of help, although the fellow that wrote the SCSI driver went to great lengths to try to assist.
