MAKEDEV creates them as hardlinks. Yes I saw that. That doesn't mean they aren't treated differently though, sa0=nsa0=esa0=nrsa0 etc etc etc, but the name used dictates the functionality. Playing with this a bit more today and it appears that I may have simply hit a couple of bad tapes by coincidence. I'll poke at it some more. Some of these tapes were last used on a 2.2.8 system, perhaps that is a factor though one would hope not. Thanks for the response. Coincidence might be the likely culprit. ________________________________________________________________________ Darren Henderson darren@bmv.state.me.us darren.henderson@state.me.us To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
