If not, then there is no bug here. Insert a tape prior to attempting to get status (unless you use the 'control' entry point, but that will yield pointless information). If so, build a kernel with CAMDEBUG enabled, boot that, and then do camcontrol debug -Ic 0:4:0 and then do the 'mt status' and ship the output back to the list. > Hi, > I recently cvsupped and updated my 3.5-STABLE box to 4.2_STABLE. > I had quite a few problems initially when doing buildworld but a > good samaritan came to my rescue and sent me precise details that > had worked for one of 'us'. > > At the moment I seem to be in a bad fix because I cannot access my > tape drive, an HP T20.
