I bought a Sony SDT-9000 DDS DAT drive this week after my one year old my HP drive started chowing tapes. The new drive recorded my tape correctly (I used a plain 90m DDS-1 tape) but when I tried `mt -f /dev/nrst0 offline' the tape did not eject. When I retry the command I get HARDWARE FAILUREasc:44,0 Internal target failure and the busy light on the drive flashes forever. I am not terribly familiar with tape drives. Could this be an incompatibility between FreeBSD 2.2.1 and the Sony drive? It does appear strange that a brand new Sony drive would be broken! The system was idle when this happened. The tape stays in the drive even if I powercycle it and press the eject button on it. Hardware info: ASUS P6NP5 128MB FPM w ECC 200MHz Pentium Pro Adaptec 2940UW USCSI and UWSCSI disks Torbjorn
