Hey there, Just got an atapi HP Colorado 5gb Tape drive and it has been giving me a hard time. For the most part I can backup data with dump/tar/dd, and issue commands with mt but after every command or program has completed its task it locks and the device turns to: "mt: /dev/ast0: Device busy"... Some more useful information to solve this problem is that dump locks after stating: DUMP: level 0 dump on Wed Oct 30 20:19:30 2002 DUMP: Closing /dev/ast0 The dump went fine and I can recover the data. Just right after dumping or recovery I need to reboot because I can no longer access the device. I am wondering is this just a device conflict? Am I going to need to use another /dev device driver, or is there other software available? Any help is well appreciated! THANKS!
