An Important Note for Mac Users of BRU Technology Under Mac OS X

Since the release of 10.4.10, there are a number of issues that have
surfaced with writing to tape and disk devices. For this reason,
10.4.10 is not compatible with tape devices connected to Mac OS X
10.4.10 via SCSI, FireWire, USB, SAS, or Fibre-Channel.

This is not a BRU Server software problem, but rather an Apple Mac OS
X problem when using any type of software that communicates with tape
devices.

Other problems with XRAID, Xsan, and other disk devices communicating
over these channels may also be realized.

To resolve this issue, we strongly suggest that you downgrade to
10.4.8, as 10.4.9 has been known to exhibit the same type of symptoms.

We apologize that we did not make the announcement sooner, however, we
believed that 10.4.11, which fixes this problem, would be released
much sooner than now. As of this announcement, 10.4.11 has yet to be
released, nor has there been an announcement for its expected release
date.
