Well, to at least avoid killing the Linux box you should check out<br>
<p>
(1) SCSI may become happy again if you turn off the scanner when it hangs<br>
You will see a lot of screaming from the kernel "Where did that go????"<br>
but then it should settle down and you can reboot safely<br>
<p>
(2) Magic SysRq is your friend, in 2.2.x at least you can configure the<br>
Alt+SysRq sequence on and have a keypress which syncs and reboots to<br>
avoid file corruption. Check out the appropriate kernel files.<br>
<p>
AFAIK the SCSI mid-layer of Linux is unhelpful about reporting errors<br>
such as "You sent too much/ not enough/ wrong kind of data" to upper<br>
layers such as SCSI generic. Tinkering with mid-layer endangers SCSI<br>
disks, tape backups etc. and only benefits SCSI generic users. So it<br>
won't happen for a while yet.<br>
