Basically means that this portion of code does no longer do the right thing (as it used to be under 1.1.5). It's part of the fdstrategy() routine: #if NFT > 0 if (FDTYPE(minor(bp->b_dev)) & F_TAPE_TYPE) { /* ft tapes do not (yet) support strategy i/o */ bp->b_error = ENXIO; bp->b_flags |= B_ERROR; goto bad; } Slice code? FDTYPE? -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
