The tape is set to rec and the permissions for the device seem to be correct. When I do an ls -l of the device /dev/nrsa0 it shows: crw-rw---- 4 root operator 14, 1 Jul 5 11:25 /dev/nrsa0 Is there anything else that could be causing this? I am able to do mt rewind and mt status without any error messages. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
