I'd guess that you've found a bug > in the tape driver. Would this be something that is timing-sensitive, i.e., that occurs when you give the mt command at just the wrong time? Or would it always be related to some anomalous response from the drive hardware? Just trying to figure out if taking care not to request mt status at the wrong time might allow me to avoid the problem in the future. All my mt operations are manual at the console so this wouldn't be hard to do. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
