Hi

I use a zip drive for backups on my debian server. Occassionally it loses 
track of hdd and I get (lots of) messages like this printed to 
/var/log/messages :

Aug  3 06:47:36 appc63 syslogd 1.4.1#11: restart.
Aug  3 06:47:41 appc63 kernel: hdd: lost interrupt

Does anyone know of a graceful way of sorting this out short of rebooting?

Thanks
