I've made (hopefully) the last sets of changes for a while. I fixed the problem with the end of tape stuff in that I went back to the 2FM @ EOD rule (that works for all but QIC tapes). I don't agree with this way of marking EOD (except for Reel tapes) but because tcopy depends upon it and 3rd party software expects FreeBSD to terminate tapes with 2FM, so be it. There are still unhappy things that may occur, but hopefully this meets the minimum for now. I want to move on to what the 4.0 release will have (I plan to adhere to the TapeAlert specification). -matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
